Dear Anon,
The closet equivalent, I believe is `cheese'.
For example, cheddar cheese is not smelly while some other cheese is quite `smelly'.
I believe is the `baterial' (edible kind) that makes some cheese smelly.
I am not familar with the names of cheese but the kind that is sprinkled on pizza's can be `quite smelly' (or to some, a lovely smelly smell). There is something like `blue' cheese etc...
Similarly, the smelly doufu, is because of its interaction with `edible baterial'.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
