Limburger is an aged cheese made from cows' milk. It has a rind that is usually somewhat mottled in appearance, the color ranging from white and yellow to brown, and a paler, softer interior. It has a strong odor and flavor, and is typically eaten with other strong flavoured food and drink.

Limburger cheese originated in Limburg, Belgium, though it is also made in the United States and Germany.

It is illegal to manufacture this cheese in Wisconsin without a master cheesemaker's certification.
