hey guys, is it normal for this cheese to smell like it’s spoiled?

  1. I just leave it open in the refrigerator so it leaves a nice smell on the other products mmh..

  2. That cheese smells like old socks and tastes even better.It maybe taste a little bitter on its own though.

  3. Depending on your origin you may or may not accept the way we age cheese 🙂🧀

    Of you like gorgonzola you have a good understanding of the finer arts of old milk 😁

  4. It’s not old, it’s just a strong cheese. Very stinky and has a very strong taste. Put it in a plastic bag or two or your milk will start tasting like it and everything else in the fridge will smell like it.

  5. This is the cheap brand, you should try some from a real cheese store. This one is okay, but not my favorite.

  6. If you want a mild cheese go for something like havarti, also melts well in a sandwich. Avoid all “lagret” except maybe for aged havarti/cheddar which resembles more a parmesan in texture and with salt crystals. The smelly ones are having a higher water content allowing the cheese to decompose basically, but the drier ones won’t be like that.

  7. Cheese is basically spoiled milk, so it can’t really get spoiled, it just gets stronger and stronger in the taste and smell. As long as it doesn’t have white or green blemishes, it’s good to go.

    The longer a cheese is stored decides how strong it is, in taste and smell.

    Mild cheese is “korttids-lagret”, normal cheese is “middel-lagret”, strong cheese is “lagret”, it’s an acquired taste…what you had there was an “Ekstra-lagret” cheese.

  8. I eat that for breakfast on toasted bread its yum, tho its not spoiled its aged/cured idk the right term for cheese.

  9. In my old company we used to have the direktør osten (CEO Cheese) the smellier the better. My partner and I and would never argue with anyone on a Friday they would by default resign.

  10. That’s the stankiest level of the sliced cheeses here; you should opt for mellemlagret or mild next time. They aren’t aged as long.

  11. You chose the extra aged cheese, and Danbo is Smear ribened cheese like Port Salut and limburger, all have quite strong smell and taste like sweat to me, but aging makes it a lot more prominent. But you are not first foreigner this week bought an extra aged cheese.

  12. My sister worked as a receptionist in a hotel at the airport for a while.

    Every once in a while tourist would come up to her to ask an apparently embarrassing question.

    They had bought some cheese, but it was bad tight from the store and they didn’t want to throw it out in the garbage in their room because of the horrible smell.

    The cheese was always fine and my sister got extra cheese for her lunch relatively often that way.

    Hilarious 😆

  13. It’s a cheese for the elderly, that’s why it says 45+.

    Heavy abuse of snaps and sild has caused many seniors in Denmark to lose their ability to experience taste and aroma. All they can sense is foul and fermented flavors. That’s why they produce this so-called “matured” (it’s rotting) cheese for that segment.

  14. Well, all Danbo cheese is an insult to what cheese should be. It smells like baby shit and tastes of regret. Get literally anything else.
