Ever wondered why some cheese smells like gym socks?

Turns out, cheese and stinky feet have something in common: bacteria! Specifically, the bacterium Brevibacterium linens, which gives both feet and cheese their...distinct aroma. This bacterium thrives in moist, salty environments and produces sulfur compounds that give off that strong, unmistakable scent. So next time you catch a whiff of foot-like funk from your cheese platter, blame the bacteria—just like you would for your gym shoes!
