"France is home to a lot of cheeses and some of them have what might be described as a pungent odour - but which French cheese is the smelliest of them all? Oozy, runny, stinking . . . many good French cheeses have a powerful scent, and some of them are best eaten outdoors, as far away from civilisation as possible."
"If you're on the lookout for a truly reeking cheese (or you want to avoid the ones that bring with them a bouquet of week-old sweaty socks), here's a rundown of some of the most pungent that France has to offer. While there isn't an official ranking of le fromage qui pue le plus (the cheese that stinks the most), a British university has done some research into this and awarded a smelliness crown."
France produces many cheeses, several of which emit pungent odours ranging from oozy to runny and stinking. Some of the strongest-smelling cheeses are best eaten outdoors to avoid their powerful scents. A British university study identified an 'officially' smelliest French cheese and awarded a smelliness crown. Brie and camembert are considered mild, entry-level smells and are excluded from lists of the most odoriferous cheeses. Reblochon is traditionally used in tartiflette; its aroma intensifies when baked. Melting cheeses used for fondue and raclette leave lingering smells on clothes and hair.
