Mimolette Vieille 12 Months
France's famous bright-orange ball of cheese. Mimolette has a subtle taste that gains depth with age, and its look and texture change too.
Tasting notes
Soft, supple and fruity when young, it becomes intense and brittle as it ages. At 12 months (vieille) it's deep, nutty and caramel-sweet.
