I've ended up with roguefort and cheddar wrapped together and gotten a
similar result. My roommate who ate roguefort liked it.

Do you intend to inject gorgonzola mold into limburger? Mixing moldy
and smelly would make for a very small minority who would like the
result.

Or do you intend to inject limburger bacteria into cream cheese? Anyone
who likes smelly cheese is likely to enjoy the result.
