Mimolette Cave Aged
Caved Aged for 12 months

Mimolette, cave-aged for 12 months, is a distinctive French cheese that originates from the city of Lille. This hard, cow’s milk cheese is renowned for its deep, pumpkin-orange hue and its crumbly, aged texture, which develops in the cool, humid conditions of caves. Aging for 12 months gives Mimolette a well-balanced, complex flavor profile that’s both nutty and subtly sweet, with hints of caramel and butterscotch. Its flavor is bold yet refined, featuring slight earthy and tangy undertones that develop through a natural aging process involving cheese mites. This unique aging practice contributes to Mimolette’s robust, rich aroma and gives the cheese its distinctive, rough, cratered rind. Mimolette pairs exceptionally well with a full-bodied red wine, like a Bordeaux or Pinot Noir, as well as with aged whiskey or a malty beer.
