Description Mimolette - Boule de Lille | 18-24 months | Half a cheese 1,5 kilo / 3.3 lbs
In northern France a very quirky cheese is made with the name Mimolette. It is a hard cheese, which is produced with raw cow's milk. The cheese has a very special, deep yellow colour, which comes from natural dyes. Anatto, the dye used for this, comes from the orlone tree. After producing the cheese, a long ripening process of at least a year follows, which gives the cheese it’s distinguished old character. The crust is slowly covered with cheese mite during the ripening process, which settles in the outer layer of the cheese and eats inwards. As a result, the cheese has a pock-shaped appearance that must be brushed off regularly in order to control the process.
