pronounced "mi-moe-let"
Mimolette, a French specialty cheese from Isigny, draws inspiration from Dutch Edam while possessing its own distinct character. Aged for over 22 months, this cannonball-like cheese features a pocked brown rind and vibrant pumpkin orange paste. Its deep caramel flavor offers sweet, nutty, and tangy notes. Commissioned by Louis XIV as a French alternative to Edam, this cheese's unique appearance is due to cheese mites.
