Controversial cheeses are cheeses that have a sketchy way of being produced(combinations of other cheeses or low quality products) or they contain unusual things(like maggots) or they smell so pungent that you can barely stay on the table and eat it(like Olomouc tvaruzky but the original one, not the mild smelling one).

Cheese made with unpasteurised milk.
Europe on the whole has absolutely INSANE fights over PDO designations and who owns a cheese and who has the right to make it.
There’s drama about Palestinian cheeses because Israelis claim them as national cheeses. This particularly applies to nabulsi and labneh.

Alsatian Munster is definitely controversial in my house. Very pungent, but I thought delicious. That is until my partner came to visit me near Strasbourg, and described the smell of it cooking (eg on tarte flambee) as being like intense hot bum sweat.
I couldn’t even deny it, almost ruined the cheese for me (it’s still delicious, just got to put that association out of my mind) and she refused to even sit inside restaurants cooking it.
On a similar note, Handkäse. It is definitely an acquired taste…

Sommerdale Mango Stilton. Pretty sure the roads in hell are paved with this shit.

usually about who smelled it or who dealt it, sometimes about who denied it.

There’s a cheese in Normandy, that I can’t remember the name of, but I call it Sheep poop cheese because it straight up smells like you’re hanging out with some wet sheep in their stable. It’s pungent af, but it’s pretty good! Does anyone know the name of it? 😅

Plant based cheese, dairy free cheese. I made a comment once about trying out cashew milk cheese to make a pizza and felt like the whole subreddit grabbed pitch forks and torches to get rid of me 🤣

Maggot cheese. You’re actually eating the poop from the maggots and it’s considered a delicacy in some countries. However Maggots cheese is banned in the United States

Italian cheeses. I find most are overrated.

Either extremely funky ‘blues’ casu marzu (sp?) or cheese adjacent products like in a can, velveeta or American , or Aldi’s coffee infused etc.

Shaky parm, assuming for the sake of argument that it’s cheese.

I’m surprised I do not see mozzarella!
Many people don’t consider it to even be cheese on account of it not requiring rennet.
Blue cheese can be very divisive. I will eat just about ANYTHING, especially when it comes to cheese. I just can’t get over the intense pungent flavor of it though, please don’t come for me 🫣
