Mimolette is a pasteurized cows milk cheese, produced in the Nord Pas-de-Calais region in northern France. Produced in the same process as a Dutch Edam and aged for 1 year, this cheese hard in texture, bright orange in color with a rind that is rustic and dusty looking. Theories have traced this cheese’s origin to the Netherlands. Others have argued that it developed in France by cheese makers who had cultural ties to Holland. We love the sharp and tangy flavors produced of this Normand cheese.
