Weisslacker (German for whitewashed due to the rind color) or Beer cheese is a type of cow’s milk cheese that originated in Germany but is now known worldwide. Also produced in the United States mostly in Wisconsin it is a pungent and salted surface-ripened cheese that starts out much like brick cheese. It ripens for seven months in highly humid conditions and is related to Limburger cheese and has a similarly powerful smell but paradoxically mild taste.
