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?

If you could find a well-made ripe Port Salut, that might do but 99.999% of
the Port Salut in this country isn't even close to what it should be. Most
of it has no aroma whatsoever. It's been velveeta-ized.

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 here:

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.
