Mimolette predates the reign of King Louis XIV, who prohibited the import of Dutch cheeses into France. The residents of Flanders in the northernmost region of France had strong cultural ties to Holland (many still speak Dutch as their first language today) and dearly loved the banished Dutch specialties. Their alternatives were to either smuggle in the contraband cheeses or make a go at producing their own - with a French twist, of course! And so, Mimolette was born. Today, most of the world's Mimolette is either made outside of Lille, France, or 250 miles to the north in Friesland, Holland.

Aged Mimolette is a semi-hard cheese that has the same texture, flavor and spherical shape as Dutch Edam. Its main difference from Edam is its deep orange hue acquired from the addition of annatto, a natural food coloring. Mimolette is produced in bowling-ball shaped 6-pound spheres covered in a protective wax casing. Because of its hue, it is sometimes called the "Halloween Cheese." Its taste is gloriously sweet and tangy, owing to the high quality milk used in its manufacture.

Aged Mimolette is very popular throughout France, Holland and other export markets around the world. It is enjoyed by both the most timid cheese novice and the serious connoisseur. This variety is aged for six months and is quite flavorful. Slice it thin!

What’s the best way to store my cheese?
The best way to keep cheese fresh is to store it in the vegetable crisper in your fridge. Before doing so, wrap in parchment or wax paper, then wrap loosely in plastic wrap. You can also buy our exclusive cheese storage bags, specially created to keep your cheese fresher, longer.

Unless used for cooking, we don’t recommend storing cheese in the freezer as this will alter its texture.

What is the best temperature to serve my cheese?
Remove cheese from the fridge an hour before serving, as cheese is best experienced at room temperature to enjoy the full spectrum of flavors.

How long will my cheese stay fresh in the refrigerator?
The length of time cheeses last in the fridge after opening depends largely on the type of cheese. Soft varieties tend to spoil more quickly than hard varieties. Please refer to the table below for a convenient reference:

How We Ship

FreshWave Packaging

Our products are always shipped so they will arrive at your door in optimal condition! We’ve carefully selected packaging options that have minimal impact on the environment without compromising on food safety or quality. 

For perishable orders, we line our shipping boxes with Tempguard - a unique, padded insulator made of 100% pre-consumer recycled paper material. We further control the temperature with recycled kraft paper fill and non-toxic frozen gel packs. In the summer months, we may include dry ice to ensure fresh delivery in very hot weather.

Note: Please join our efforts to be mindful of our environment and extend the life-cycle of our packaging, by recycling your shipping box, Tempguard liner, and kraft fill (all 100% curbside recyclable!). Store the gel packs in your freezer and reuse to keep your next picnic or road trip fare cool.
