13 Nov The Most Unusual Cheeses: Are You Brave Enough to Try Them?
- Époisses de Bourgogne:
This French cheese, originating from the Burgundy region, is known for its strong and penetrating aroma. Its history dates back to the 16th century when it was made by monks in the region. Despite its potent smell—so notable that it is banned from public transport in France—the Époisses is cherished for its intense flavor and creamy texture. Made with cow’s milk and brandy, this cheese is a true challenge for the senses.
- Milbenkäse:
Hailing from Germany and produced since the Middle Ages, Milbenkäse is one of the world’s most unusual cheeses. Its fermentation process is carried out by mites and their excrement, rather than bacteria or fungi. This unique method imparts a distinctive flavor and texture to the cheese. It is placed in containers with these mites for a period of time to allow natural fermentation to occur.
- Pule:
Pule is a Serbian cheese made exclusively from donkey’s milk, and it costs a staggering 5,000 euros per kilogram. This high price is due to the difficulty and time required for its production: it takes at least fifteen donkeys to produce one liter of milk, and 25 liters of milk are needed to make just one kilogram of cheese. With only 150 of the specific type of donkey used in its production, this cheese is truly exclusive and rare.
