The Extra Old Mimolette by Isigny Sainte-Mere is a French cheese known for its distinctive orange color and firm texture. This cheese undergoes a lengthy aging process, typically for at least 18-24 months, which imparts a rich and complex flavor profile with nutty and caramelized undertones.
The aging process also develops a hard, crusty rind, often with visible mite activity, which is a traditional feature of Mimolette cheese.
