Top 10 Stinky Cheese Countdown

In honor of Stink Week, we'll be counting down the top 10 stinkiest cheeses in the world, according to the HotelTravel Club Blog.  We want to find just the right cheese to represent Stink Week.

10.  Taleggio



Taleggio...it ain't pretty but at least it smells bad

 At number 10 is Taleggio.  According to the blog, it is not a pretty cheese.  No kidding.  It is left in caves to mature and washed with salt-water soaked sponges.  That's pretty gross.

Wait a minute.  It's washed?  That has got to be one stinky cheese if it still smells bad even after they wash it.  But we don't want some sissy cheese that washes representing Stink Week.  Let's see what's at number 9...

9. Stilton

Stilton.  All hail the king...of cheese!

Hmm.  Let's see.  It's called the king of English cheeses and just the right cheese if you like "the smellier the better".  That sounds good.  And by good, of course, we mean that sounds disgusting.  Wait, what's this?  Someone made a perfume of the stench called 'Eau de Stilton'?  A perfume!?  Are you kidding me?  That's an insult to Stink Week.  Of course, maybe we could boil the Stink Week shirts when we are done and sell the stench to raise a few more bucks.  We'll have to think about that...
