Melinda Mae is an American cheese originating from Lebanon, Connecticut. This Brie-style cheese is made with cow's milk and ripens for 11 days. Underneath its bloomy rind, there is an ivory-colored, smooth paste with a runny and soft texture.
The aromas are yeasty and fruity, while the flavors are sweet, mild, buttery, and slightly pungent. It is recommended to pair Melinda Mae with fruits, nuts, and malty beverages.
