Mimolette Vieille Cheese

Our most recent cheese discovery.  We try to buy something different each time and very rarely repeat our purchases to continue with our knowledge.   Only for study sake of course.

This cheese is from Lille.  It is aged for a minimum of 24 months.  It is crumbly like good aged parmesan.  It is sweet, caramel, salty and nutty in flavour .  The wee cheese mites eat the rind over the ageing process.  You can see the hole in our piece which means they really do core test the cheese.  In the proper traditional way.

And honestly??? This cheese is AMAZING.  Khalas.
