Mimolette Aged Boule d'Or

Item #: 7941

Mimolette Vieille is one of France’s most iconic cheeses, aged for over 12 months by master affineur Cesar Losfeld in Lille.

With its signature orange hue and cantaloupe-type rind, you can't miss with this classic French cheese. Its bright orange color is attributed to Anatto, a natural orange dye derived from the achiote tree.  

It was commissioned by King Louis XIV to create a French alternative to Dutch Edam while the French were at war with Holland.
Mimolette was once used as a form of currency. 

This aged version of the cheese has a fuller flavor with a tangy character. It is harder and appears more brittle than that of the younger.
