FEATURES

Mimolette French Cheese, Aged 6 Months - Cut cheese, up to 7.2 lbs (3.27 kg), by Isigny Sainte-Mère, France.

Mimolette is a semi-firm, pasteurized, pressed, aged cow's milk cheese from France that can be grated on top of foods or served as a snack with beer. This specific Mimolette is aged for six months, supplying a less firm texture and slightly less nutty taste than its counterparts aged for a longer time. It has a strong, sharp yet mild, fruity, and nutty flavor with slight caramel notes and a bright, orange interior. This cheese is also known as "Boule de Lille" or "French Edam," as its production method is quite similar to the Dutch cheese Edam.
