Aged for a full 24 months and selected by legendary affineur Rodolphe Le Meunier, this exceptional Mimolette develops a firm, crystalline texture and remarkable depth of flavor. Originally inspired by Dutch Edam, Mimolette has become one of France's most iconic cheeses, prized for its vibrant natural orange paste and increasingly complex character as it matures. After two years of aging, it offers concentrated notes of toasted hazelnuts, caramel, browned butter, and butterscotch with a pleasantly savory finish and satisfying crunch from naturally formed protein crystals.
Enjoy it on a cheese board with toasted nuts, dried apricots, fresh pears, or crusty bread, or shave it over salads and pasta for a rich, nutty finish. Its bold flavor also pairs beautifully with cured meats and fruit preserves, making it an outstanding addition to any entertaining spread.
Recognized as one of France's greatest affineurs, Rodolphe Le Meunier has earned international acclaim for his meticulous approach to selecting and aging exceptional cheeses. Awarded the prestigious Meilleur Ouvrier de France (Best Craftsman of France) title, he works closely with artisan producers to mature each cheese to its peak expression, highlighting the unique character and terroir of every wheel.
