The name ‘Mimolette’ is derived from the French
word molle, which means soft. In France, it is famous as Boule de Lille after
the city of origin and vieux Hollande. Produced by Losfeld
in Lille, it is a semi-hard cow’s milk cheese similar to Edam. The aging period
varies from 2 months to 24 months.
Flavour Profile: Along with its orange colour, the
cheese has a fruity aroma. Being a good choice for non-vegetarians, it tastes a
bit buttery, salty and nutty with 40% fats.
