Mimolette Cheese Aged 6 Months

Isigny’s 6-month aged mimolette is a semi-firm, golden-orange cheese that reflects the extraordinary dairy heritage of Normandy’s Isigny-sur-Mer region — an area long described for its opulent pastures and mineral-rich, coastal grasslands. Made from milk produced exclusively within this unique terroir, the cheese acquires natural depth, richness, and aroma before aging in Isigny’s traditional cellars. This exceptional quality was recognized when Isigny’s mimolette was awarded “Best Cheese in the World” at the 2023 Lyon International Fair.

Its color comes from natural annatto, added at the beginning of production, while the texture at 6 months remains smooth, pliable, and easy to slice or shave. During aging, the cheeses are turned, brushed, and inspected by Isigny’s master cheesemakers—using traditional techniques such as tapping with a boxwood mallet to ensure proper structure. At this stage, the flavor is fruity, lightly nutty, and gently savory, offering a perfect balance between youthful softness and emerging complexity.

Use it on cheese boards, grate it into warm dishes, fold it into savory pastries, or shave it over roasted vegetables and salads. Its striking color makes any presentation pop, and its flavor adapts well from everyday cooking to elevated plating. Available in cuts from 4 ounces up to two full 7.2-lb wheels, it suits both home cooks and professional kitchens seeking authentic French craftsmanship.

• Pairings: Beaujolais, Chardonnay, or Belgian-style tripel ales.
