Words from The French Pantry

Mimolette, also known as "Boule de Lille," traces its origins to the reign of Louis XIV, when the king banned the import of Dutch cheeses into France. In response, the residents of Flanders (now part of Belgium), who had deep cultural connections with Holland and a strong love for Dutch cheeses, found themselves either smuggling in their favorite varieties or attempting to create their own with a French twist. This led to the creation of Mimolette. Aged Mimolette is a semi-hard cheese with the same spherical shape and texture as Dutch Edam, but it features a natural rind and a vibrant orange interior.

Highly popular throughout France, Aged Mimolette appeals to both novice cheese lovers and seasoned connoisseurs alike. This particular variety, aged for twelve months, offers a bold and flavorful experience.

Note about your cheese

• Shipping : cheese is shipped in a triple-layer box liner with insulation and ice packs, providing up to 48 hours of protection.

Due to the specialized packaging and expedited shipping required, cheese does not qualify for free shipping. However, adding non-perishable products to your cart will grant you access to free shipping for those items.​

Please note that we ship from Monday to Thursday for 1-day delivery, to avoid any weekend delays.

Cheese is shipped as a fresh (not frozen) product.

• Refrigeration : Keep cheese wrapped in wax paper or parchment paper, then place it in an airtight container or resealable bag. Store in the fridge at 2-6°C (36-43°F) to maintain freshness.

• Serving Temperature : Bring to room temperature (30-60 min) before serving for the best flavor and texture.

• Mold & Safety : Mold does not necessarily mean you need to throw away your cheese!

- Hard Cheeses : If mold appears, simply cut away at least 1 inch around and below the moldy area. The rest of the cheese is safe to eat.

- Soft Cheeses : If mold appears on soft cheeses, it's recommended to discard the entire piece, as the mold may spread beyond the visible area.

• Always inspect your cheese carefully, and if you have any doubts about its safety, refer to the USDA guidelines or contact us for more information.

• Shelf Life : Soft cheeses last about 1-2 weeks, while hard cheeses can last 3-6 weeks if stored properly.
