Aged Mimolette Cheese (1 lb)

Mimolette is an interesting cow's milk cheese, full of tradition and procedure. The balls of Mimolette are aged for at least 6 months and up to 18 months. The cheese is kept in a damp environment, while thousands of cheese mites live and varieties are comparable in taste and smell to Parmesan. As it ages, it takes on a chewier and harder texture and the taste of butter and hazelnuts. The longer this cheese ages, the more desirable it becomes. Mimolette lends itself well to dishes that call for the cheese to be grated, like soups, salads and pastas. Mimolette is a wonderful addition to any cheese platter, with its interesting texture and history and its vibrant orange hue. For a wine pairing, select a dessert wine like muscatel or a sweet Riesling. It is also complimented by the flavors of a sherry or port.
