Default Substitute for limburger cheese?

Since Kraft quit producing limburger (Mohawk Valley) I can't find limburger
anywhere here in my small town (100K). I miss it. Can anyone suggest a
possibly more available cheese that tastes at least somewhat like
limburger?

TIA

These are the only limburger producers in the US. You might start
by emailing them to find out where they sell limburger near you,
or what the shipping process is...

That's too bad. I think Mohawk Valley was the brand
I was buying. But I didn't buy it too often. I didn't
mind the stink, but I couldn't get anyone else to eat it.

I never bought many, because it was a fatty cheese.
I tend to stay away from those, preferring harder
more flavorful cheeses. But I bought more Limburger
than Brie or Camembert.

Munster, perhaps? (not muenster, which is totally different) Or how
about Stilton?

You could look for Liederkranz: "Strangely enough, in the 1880's, a New Yorker
named Emil Frey copied the recipe for Limburger and created Liederkranz..."

You can order real Limburger he

Or you can buy any full-bodied softer cheese, such as Livarot, Epoisses, Pont
l'Eveque, Reblochon, etc., let it ripen fully, and you'll end up with more
flavor than Limburger has with the rind removed.
