Limburger is a semi-soft washed-rind cheese from the Netherlands. It is made from cow's milk and shaped in small bricks with a moist orange rind. The smell is famously strong, while the paste inside is milder than that smell suggests. Salt, moisture, and the washed surface define it more than a sharp aged bite. Shops sell it for bread and hearty plates, not as a hard cheese for grating.

Mondseer is a semi-soft cow's milk cheese from Austria. It is made from pasteurized milk and ripened with a washed rind. The paste is pale yellow, smooth, and creamy, with small slit holes. A reddish yellow coat forms after the surface is brushed with salted water and red cultures. The aroma is stronger than the taste, which runs from mild and tangy to a little sharp.
