swiss Stinky & Washed Rind Cheese

Often enjoyed by adventurous cheese lovers, stinky and washed rind cheeses get their pungent flavor and colorful rind from regular washing in a salt solution—or with beer, wine, or spirits— during the aging process. The tradition started in medieval times to keep wheels fresh. Today, the practice lives on to create a smooth, gooey interior and distinct flavor profile—one that ranges from meat and mushrooms to bread and butter.
