Calories

According to some producer info, 100g of Limburger (40% fat) has about 270kcal. However, I'm not really proficient in English so pls somebody else change it to the correct value. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.19.44.25 (talk) 11:02, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Nutrition Facts

I don't believe those nutrition facts to be correct as the caloric content of Limburger would exceed butter by 50%. As butter is pure fat (the greatest store of calories by weight), this is highly suspect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.167.146.130 (talk) 14:52, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Actually, butter is not pure fat. It contains a considerable amount of water, too. Probably you meant cleared butter. 195.243.219.118 (talk) 15:22, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Yum

I love the picture. What's that bread? It looks like malt loaf (ey, wha? redlink!), but they wouldn't get on together (then neither did Abbott and Costello). qp10qp 14:49, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

In the words of Meelar back in 21:53, July 25, 2005 (UTC), who sent me my first message after I said I hated Limberger cheese on this very same talk page, "P.S. Generally, talk pages like Talk:Limburger cheese are used to improve the article, not give personal opinions of the subject matter." Words of wisdom even today. P.S. I still hate Limberger cheese. You might like Limberger, but the talk page is just to talk about the article. I'm sure there's plenty of forums you could go to :). Kevin 00:53, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

True, but have I not contributed a juicy red link? qp10qp 04:08, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

If the upcoming PotD caption is to be believed, the bread is pumpernickel. GeeJo ^(t)⁄_(c) • 19:28, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

what does that mean?

What on earth is "multuous"?--Gilabrand 14:50, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I have to second this question. Google returns nothing but typos and this page for this word. 21 Jul 2007. --Anonymous

The Cheese becomes multuous after you embiggen it for about a month, it is a very cromulent process. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.181.253.68 (talk) 16:17, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

"Master Cheesemaker" Certification

Just for clarification....it says that it is illegal in Wisconsin to make Limburger without master certification, but then it goes on to say that the lone cheese shop in Wisconsin is the only manufacturer of Limburger in North America. I don't really believe that, but I don't know much about cheese. It just seems unlikely that cheesemakers across our capitalist continent would refuse to make Limburger cheese for no reason. I mean, I guess it doesn't sell very well, but is all the Limburger at my local cheese shop in Canada really manufactured in Wisconsin?? -- Randall00 ^Talk 19:45, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

It is indeed a fact, that Monroe WI is the only place in North America where Limburger cheese is still manufactired. Up until a decade or so ago, it was also made in Rome NY, but thyat Cheese factory was purchased by Kraft foods, who discontinued the product. Regardless of where you find domestic Limburger cheese and regardless of the packageing, it was made in Monroe WI Cosand (talk) 00:01, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Muenster cheese

Why is there a link to Muenster cheese? Is there a relation between them? I've never actually tried Limburger, but American Muenster is a very mild cheese, whereas French Muenster is slightly stronger in taste and smell than Limburger.--RLent 20:24, 6 November 2007 (UTC) 173.50.97.9 (talk) 17:17, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

I've added more information to this topic for a class assignment. I would greatly appreciate any feedback concerning this article. Thanks! Sanchez2 (talk) 13:02, 28 March 2008 (UTC)sanchez2

location of production

Some people seem not to accept that the only producer of Limburger in the United States is in Monroe, WI(check out the "cheesecyclopedia" at the wisdariy.org, http://www.wisdairy.com/AllAboutCheese/cheesecyclopedia/default.aspx, under Limburger and here too, http://www.wisdairy.com/BuyWICheese/companydetail.aspx?companyid=52#). --Jjfxg (talk) 01:49, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

In my experience those who do not accept this fact that indeed Monroe WI is currently the only place in the US Limburger is made, are generally referring to locations in Ohio and upstate NY which did at one time produce the cheese, but ceased production some years ago Cosand (talk) 15:03, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Cultural Significance

Three Stooges used the limburger cheese in their 1935 film... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y6YPjcQJ4g

Limburger cheese was also used in Shoulder Arms by Charlie Chaplin in 1918, which is considered to be the first American comedy about World War I. Jtyroler (talk) 19:01, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Country Castle brand?

Apparently Country Castle brand limburger cheese is the only authentic limburger currently made in North America. Has anyone else heard this? If that's true, it ought to be mentioned in the article. --24.20.129.18 (talk) 11:26, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Williams uses Chalet's cheese

I have spoken to folks at both Chalet and Williams. Williams uses Chalet's limburger, mixed with other cheeses and other ingredients, but is not a manufacturer of Limburger. Chalet folks said that as far as they know there are no other domestic manufacturers. Country Castle is one of their brands. --Capouch (talk) 05:05, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Source?

The Manufacture section says Goats, but the little box under the picture says Cows. I'm a low intelligence individual with limited ability to read text carefully, though :) 20.137.18.50 (talk) 17:23, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Link to Weird History blog

I've added a link to the Weird History blog on a death from eating Limburger cheese but this keeps getting deleted. The reason given is that the Weird History site is "invalid/copyright infringment/unreliable". I think that's baloney. The site is operated by the @historyweird Twitter account which has 94k followers including many reputable historians. It contains citations to primary sources. And in the case of the Limburger article there is a screengrab. I humbly suggest that your judgement here is wrong. JackDory (talk) 02:41, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

I have requested that you find a more reliable source. The domain in question was almost blacklisted MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist/archives/December_2012#alphahistory.com_.26_lawgovpol.com and was deemed not appropriate. Find a better source than a blog. Werieth (talk) 02:57, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

Do not re-insert again. Please find a better source. Werieth (talk) 03:02, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

I just did some digging http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045830/1906-10-05/ed-1/seq-8/ is a good source for the statement. Werieth (talk) 03:21, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

PS your addition is factually incorrect. Werieth (talk) 03:23, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

No, my edit was quite correct, based on my reference and the primary source it contains. Two points re: Alpha History. Firstly, "almost blacklisted" is not "blacklisted". Secondly, the site (or at least the Weird History part of it) contains a variety of well researched and correctly cited sources. To claim it is unlinkable because a couple of Wiki editors took exception to other parts of the site a year ago is extraordinarily petty. Wikipedia is not an intellectual fiefdom.

Only American Company to Make Limburger?

This should be sourced, because I just visited Henning's Cheese in Kiel, Wisconsin and sampled their own limburger. There's definitely more than one American cheese manufacturer that makes limburg. Eseress (talk) 20:57, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

• If you go to Henning's website (http://cheesestore.henningscheese.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=133) you will find their limburger cheese. Eseress (talk) 21:02, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
