Mimolette
Choose options
Distinctive French hard cheese from Northern France, aged for 18 months to develop its characteristic bright orange paste and complex, deeply concentrated flavours. This impressive cheese undergoes a natural ageing process where beneficial cheese mites (Acarus siro) create the protective grey rind while the interior transforms from a simple pressed cheese into a granular, crystalline delicacy with intense butterscotch and hazelnut notes.
The extended maturation develops remarkable depth — rich caramel flavours with a satisfying nutty finish that evolves on the palate. The firm, granular texture with occasional crystalline formations indicates proper maturation, while the natural rind protects the dense orange interior. Each morsel delivers concentrated flavour that makes this aged cheese incredibly satisfying.
Serve in thin shavings to appreciate the dense texture, or grate over salads and pasta. Excellent on a cheese board with fresh pears, walnuts, and crusty bread with honey. The intense, complex flavours make it perfect for both cooking and eating.
Producer: Beillevaire, the renowned French cheese maker known for exceptional artisanal dairy products. This Mimolette is carefully aged for 18 months in controlled conditions, allowing the natural cheese mites to develop the characteristic rind while the paste matures to perfection.
