The unique taste of Boule de Lille
The Mimolette, often called 'Boule de Lille' in France, is one of the most striking cheeses from the north of France. This round cheese immediately stands out because of its bright orange dairy and its robust rind. Because this specific Mimolette has matured for no less than 18 to 24 months (Extra Vieille), the texture has become crumbly and hard. The taste is beautifully complex: intense, fruity and with distinct notes of caramel and roasted hazelnuts.
The striking orange color is due to the addition of annatto, a completely natural extract. The rough rind is formed during the long ripening process in special cellars. This gives the cheese its unmistakable, rustic character. Mimolette is fantastic on a luxurious cheese board, delicious with a strong beer or grated over warm pasta dishes for a spicy twist.
Freshly cut from the knife for the highest quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat such an exclusive cheese with the deepest respect. As soon as we receive your order, we only cut the Mimolette fresh from the large round ball. Immediately afterwards, the piece is packed tightly and airtight in a vacuum. To optimally protect the complex aromas and the texture during shipping, we always send your order including a cooling pack. This allows you to bring absolute top quality into your home.
Frequently Asked Questions about Mimolette
Is the rind of the Mimolette edible?
No, the rind of the Mimolette is not edible. This robust rind is created during the long ripening by the action of microscopic cheese mites. You simply cut this rind away before consumption.
Why is the cheese orange?
The bright orange color is created by adding annatto during preparation. This is a natural coloring extract derived from the seeds of the achiote tree. It has virtually no effect on the taste, but gives the cheese its iconic appearance.
What does a Mimolette of 18-24 months taste like?
Due to this extremely long ripening, the moisture has disappeared from the cheese, resulting in a hard and crumbly texture. The taste is very powerful and concentrated, with hints of nuts, caramel and a slightly fruity aftertaste.
