MIMOLETTE ISIGNY 6 MONTHS
The Product
A second expression of Isigny's six-month Mimolette, showcasing the remarkable consistency and quality of this iconic orange cheese. Each wheel is individually aged and selected, resulting in subtle variations that reflect the artisanal nature of the production while maintaining Isigny's exacting standards.
Origin & Terroir
Produced in the heart of Normandy by the Isigny Sainte-Mère cooperative, this Mimolette benefits from the same terroir-rich milk that has made the Isigny name legendary. The six-month aging period in carefully controlled caves allows the complex nutty and caramel flavors to develop to their ideal expression.
How to Enjoy
Serve in wedges on a cheese board alongside Comté and chèvre for a diverse French cheese selection. Grate over pasta or soups for a nutty depth. Pair with a hoppy IPA, a Côtes du Rhône red, or a glass of dry cider. Also wonderful with quince paste and toasted almonds.
Did You Know?
No two wheels of artisanal Mimolette are identical — each develops its own unique flavor profile depending on the specific batch of milk, the conditions in the aging cave, and the activity of the cheese mites on its rind. Connoisseurs often compare Mimolette tasting to wine tasting for its subtle wheel-to-wheel variations.
