Vieux Lille
Stink Level:
10/10
Salted and aged washed-rind cow’s milk cheese. It gives off a scent described as ammonia, fishy, pungent, overpowering, with a taste that’s salty, sharp, creamy, lingering, and a texture that's reddish rind, firm and dense interior. It’s often enjoyed crumbled into potatoes or eggs, served with beer.
