Description Mimolette - Boule de Lille | 18-24 months

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.

We first tasted Mimolette in Scotland about 8 years ago and have been unable to get it since in the UK. A family member ordered an excellent sized portion from the GoudaCheeseShop! Delicious, nutty flavour, that pairs well with a strong red.
