Isigny 24-Month Aged Mimolette Cheese 6 lb.

Details

Delight customers with the delicious flavor and striking color of this Isigny mimolette 24 month aged cheese. This extra-mature mimolette cheese has a firm texture and buttery, nutty flavor with sweet butterscotch notes that will stand out on a cheese plate, salad, or egg dish. Featuring a unique texture, this firm cheese is crumbly and becomes rich and oily at room temperature. Crafted in France, this cheese is made with high-quality cow's milk from Normandy that is incredibly rich with a high fat and protein content. Once the milk is heated and the rennet is added, annatto, a naturally-occurring plant-based orange coloring, is added to give the cheese its signature orange color. Then the cheese is aged for a minimum of 24 months to develop its buttery, nutty flavor and deepen its color to a dark orange / light red. Once aged, the cheese emerges with a thick, uneven natural rind and firm center with sporadic holes. As a marker of its superior quality and taste, this mature mimolette cheese holds the Label Rouge quality designation.

Similar in flavor to cheddar cheese, this mild cheese is not tangy or funky, making it a great crowd-pleasing option. The hard texture of this cheese allows you to grate, slice, or shave it, for use in a variety of applications. Add a pop of color and complex, nutty flavor to a signature salad in your restaurant by shaving this mimolette on top. Serve thick slices of this cheese as part of a platter of French cheese and meats and pair with an IPA, brown, or Belgian beer for an amazing combination of flavor. No matter how you serve it, this cheese is sure to delight with its unique orange coloring and pleasing flavor!
