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.


Mimolette Vieille is perfect for pairing with wine, serving on a cheese board, or enhancing a variety of culinary creations, bringing the authentic taste of French tradition to your table.
