Mimolette by Isigny Sainte-Mère
Orange is the new black.
Cheese Maker: This iconic French cheese originated in Lille, northern France, though Dutch Edam inspired its production when King Louis XIV banned foreign goods.
Cheese: Mimolette is a hard cow's milk cheese aged from 6 months to over 2 years, developing a distinctively cratered, gray-brown rind and vivid orange interior (colored with annatto).
Tasting Notes: The flavor is nutty, fruity, and slightly sweet when young, becoming more intense and caramel-like with extended aging.
Pairing Suggestions: Pair it with Belgian ales, brown bread, and walnuts.
Use: Mimolette is so beautiful. Place it on any cheese board for a show-stopping piece.
