The reports you have heard have been greatly exaggerated...
The cheese is Camembert, which is the name of a market town in France,
and it was said that the _aroma_ of Camembert resembled that of the feet
of God. In other words, sublimely stinky. Never having smelled the feet
of God, I couldn't comment on any resemblance. However, Camembert is
rather similar to Brie, but with a slightly stronger odor, nowhere in
the Limberger or Gorgonzola class, even when ripe.
But yeah, it makes a good story... ;  )
