Stink Level: 9/10

Washed-rind cow’s milk cheese from Burgundy. It gives off a scent described as ammonia, sulfur, barnyard, intense, with a taste that’s creamy, strong, salty, pungent, and a texture that's sticky orange rind, soft and gooey interior. It’s often enjoyed spread on baguette, served with grapes or berries, paired with white burgundy.
