You can buy this cheese in multiples of 200 grams. La Mimolette is a semi-hard French cheese originating from the area around Lille, which is the reason why it’s also known as boule de Lille. Made from cow’s milk, this specific lot is aged for 2 years.
The cheese is characterized by its orange color (coming from annatto), fruity aroma, and chewy texture, while the flavor is nutty, salty, and buttery. Mimolette’s rind is infamously hard and tough to crack, and its appearance is the result of cheese mites which have been intentionally introduced in order to add flavor to the cheese as they burrow through it. One of my favourites.
