Mimolette

Mimolette has a dense and fudge-like texture with a fruity, nutty flavour with butterscotch tones. As Mimolette ages, its texture gets harder and more crumbly and develops complex, sharp flavours with hazelnut notes. Besides the bright orange colour, Mimolette’s grey rind makes it a very special cheese. Mimolette is made from high-quality pasteurized Normandy cow’s milk that is known for its richness, high fat content, and high protein and vitamin content.

Description

What does Mimolette taste like? The cheese is similar to parmesan in many ways – caramelly tones, hard rind and a sharp, developing flavour. It can be used in the same way as Parmesan is – sprinkle it on top of pasta, add flavour to doughs or add richness to cheese sauces.

Where’s it from? Gouda, Holland. Produced by Landana and comes as a wedge of min. weight of 200g.

Recipes:

Mimolette works fantastically well in this Three Cheese Topped Mushrooms recipe.

You could also incorporate Mimolette in this indulgent Panko Dumplings recipe. Perfect for parties with a side dip of Tomato Chilli Chutney.

This is a hard cheese so it can be used in a similar way to Gruyere, Comte or Parmesan. As such it will work well for recipes like this Three Cheese Gratin with Salami, traditional French dish Truffade or German Käsespätzle.

If it’s the gorgeous red colour you’re after, try using it as a replacement to Sparkenhoe Red Leciester. Ideal recipes include Mini Sparkenhoe Red Leicester Cheese Tarts, Three Cheese Brioche or these Cheesy Mushrooms.
