Get a whiff of this
Gubbeen cheese smells a
bit like the guys hall in your
. freshman dorm. Like stale
socks and dirt.
And according to Zing-
erman's employee Pat La
Flamme, it's the smelliest
cheese at the Kerrytown deli.
The scent lingers on your
m, fingers for quite a while after
you've laid your hands on this
pungent snack.
Biting into the cheese,
however, provides an unex-
pected, delicious surprise.
The consistency is a bit
harder than Brie and prob-
ably wouldn't be classified
as purely soft, but the cheese
. does melt and crumble lightly
.. -,.,in your mouth.

The Gubbees cheese at Zingermas's Delicatessen is the smelliest cheese said at smell, but don't be shocked
the Ann Arbor store. Its made by a hashand and wife in Coanty Cork, Ireland, when your taste buds are
soothed by a cool milk flavor.
It's a little bit sharp, but not
nearly as sharp as the smell
would suggest.
At this point, you may be
waiting for a bit more kick,
but there is some excitement
on the way.
The cheese finishes bril-
liantly, leaving a taste that
could only be described as
smoky black pepper on your
tongue. However, there's
nothing but good old-fash-
ioned milk in the cheese.
Glans and Tom Ferguson of
County Cork in Ireland craft
Gubbeen, which is available
at Zingerman's for $23.99 per
pound. The name comes from
the Gaelic word for "small
mouth."
The cow milk cheese is
known as "washed rind"
cheese, meaning it is rinsed
with salt water during a two-
month aging process.
This encourages some bac-
teria and discourages others
during the aging. The bacteria
that does grow on Gubbeen
are what cause its powerful
scent.
Zingerman's gets Gubbeen
and cheeses like it from Lon-
don-based distributor Neal's
Yard Dairy, which finds small
cheese makers and brings
their products to the rest of
the world.
Although the cheese isn't
one of Zingerman's best sell-
ers, it sells more than enough
to keep it on the shelf, La
Flamme said.
"It's not for everybody," he
said. "There's a pretty dedi-
cated fan base for that sort of
cheese."
