Mimolette Vieille Label Rouge is a traditional French cheese made from pasteurized cow’s milk, renowned for its intense orange color and firm, crumbly texture. This distinctive color is achieved by adding natural annatto coloring during production.
Produced by Isigny Sainte-Mère, this Mimolette is characterized by its rich, fruity, and nutty flavor, which develops over at least 12 months of aging. During this maturation period, the cheese is regularly turned and brushed to ensure an even distribution of microorganisms, contributing to its unique taste and texture.
Isigny Sainte-Mère is a cooperative dairy located in Normandy, France, specializing in producing Camembert cheese, butter, and cream with milk sourced from the local area. The cooperative was established in 1932 and takes advantage of the rich grasses of Normandy, which impart a particular quality and flavor to its dairy products.
