In my refrigerator right now I have a washed-rind cheese that comes wrapped in cabbage leaves. I can’t recall the name. It tastes better without the cabbage in my opinion. ---

I believe that’s the one. I no longer have the label. ---

The website I cited above about the Robiola in cabbage leaf had this to say: > [@](#): > > At its ripest, it oozes out through the leaves. If you’re lucky enough to get one at this stage, serve it up on a sloped plate to catch all the gooey goodness. I think I will pass. . . ---

The cheese itself is much like Munster. It’s fine. ---

A stinky cheese that isn’t US import Epoisses, but to me tastes much better, is Livarot. [Livarot - Cheese.com](https://www.cheese.com/livarot/) Brie like, but a bit stinky. Not as pungent as Epoisses that I’ve had here, and I understand they’re better in their native land. I’d love for the FDA to get rid of that raw milk cheese aging import restriction. Have we mentioned Cabrales yet? And what’s this that it’s no longer sold wrapped in leaves? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/less-common-cheeses-that-you-have-tried/823521.md?page=5)
