World's smelliest cheese

Scientists at a Bedfordshire university have found what could be the smelliest cheese in the world.

Vieux Boulogne, a soft cheese from northern France, beat 14 other whiffy varieties in tests.

Experts at Cranfield University - who led the research - used an "electronic nose" to analyse the cheese odours, along with a panel of 19 human testers.

English Cheddar, aged between six and 24 months, was one of the least smelly cheeses tested, along with Parmesan.



so says BBC News

Cranfield is the village that I grew up in, so that's really rather bizarre to think they are doing that research there.

    My host moms summer home was near Boulogne and her boyfriend loved that cheese.

    I can attest to that...it definitely is the smelliest.
