Ok Erika... have you tried it??? or just basing your gross asumption upon what it actually is?
I know someone that loves the stuff ... (not me...)
It's the idea of it that grosses me out -- to the point that I won't try it. Narrow-minded? In this case, you betcha!
Oh ... I haven't yet stated my fondness for fresh mozzarella. I love it. Plain, in a caprese salad, with prosciutto or capicolla ... any old way.
Also, cream cheese (is it actually cheese?); pepper jack; muenster; emmentaler or gruyere or other varieties melted on a crispy crouton in a steaming bowl of French onion soup; monterey jack; colby-jack; all kinds of cheddar, from extra sharp to mild ... I adore those little wax-wrapped rounds (either the red or the yellow) ... the Laughing Cow cheese spread stuff ...
I'm ono for a grilled cheese sandwich now.

I know a lot less than what there is to be known.
I don't know how people can handle "stinky cheeses"
the nose numbing smell and moldy rind that are the hallmarks of stinky cheese are the result of polycultures and bacterias that form on the outer skin of the cheese as it ripens. As it is aged, the cheese skin absorbs the earthiness of the damp cellars, and the mold that develops on the rind, called bacillus linens, generates an ammonia-like smell.
