Isigny’s 6-month aged Mimolette cheese, offered here in a convenient 7-ounce pre-cut piece, highlights the exceptional milk and craftsmanship of Normandy’s Isigny Sainte-Mère Cooperative. Named **Best Cheese in the World** at the 2023 Lyon International Fair, this mimolette owes its flavor to the Baie des Veys terroir — coastal pastures rich in marine minerals that produce naturally aromatic, high-quality milk.
Mimolette has been part of Isigny’s tradition since 1951, crafted using local milk and colored with natural annatto to achieve its signature orange hue. Each wheel is aged in Normandy cellars, where it’s turned, inspected, and tapped with a boxwood mallet to ensure ideal texture and structure. After six months, the cheese develops a firm yet pliable paste with a fruity, nutty flavor and a warm, vibrant color.
This semi-mature mimolette is perfect for cheese boards, snacking, or grating over salads, vegetables, and warm dishes. Rich, approachable, and beautifully crafted, it represents the unique terroir and longstanding expertise that define Isigny cheeses.
