Mimolette Vieille: the aged French cheese that stops people in their tracks
Mimolette is one of those cheeses that makes people stop and ask what it is. The deep orange colour, the rugged, cratered rind that is the hallmark of a properly aged Mimolette, the dense crumbly interior, it looks unlike anything else on a board. And then you taste it: butterscotch sweetness, roasted nuts, and a long savoury finish that builds as it ages. At 12 months minimum, this is Mimolette at its most expressive.
Originally from Lille in the north of France, each wheel is hand-selected for its rich, complex flavour. Cut to order.
Country of origin: France
Region: Nord, Lille
Milk: Cow's milk

How to enjoy it?
On a cheese platter it brings colour and character that nothing else does. It also works beautifully in salads, omelettes and cooked dishes where you want depth without sharpness.
Perfect pairings
- Wine: Beaujolais, Côtes du Rhône, or a crisp Chardonnay
- Beer: Belgian amber ale or a malty lager
- Accompaniments: dried apricots, walnuts, honey, and crusty sourdough

What a delicious selection of cheeses, beautifully packaged. The size of the "smear" of Cabecou was a surprise until I realized that $7 worth of deliciousness couldn't have been a large quantity! I'll order 3 of them next time. Keep up the fantastic work.
Thank you Madeline, delighted you enjoyed the cheese selection and the Cabecou goat cheese. It is indeed a small bit of goodness, but it packs such a wonderful burst of flavour. Merci, Philippe
