For those not in the know, "rotten" puts it lightly, this cheese is made specifically to breed fly maggots which are eaten alive with the cheese.

It's not particularly legal to sell or manufacture for consumption due to the fact that yes, the maggots can in fact try to chew through your stomach and intestines before they die from digestion and cause severe intestinal distress.

They ain't the big, chewy grubs that Timon and Pumba might eat either, they're piles of teeny, tiny crawling masses of mini-maggots, so extremely horrifying. Nurgle cheese.
