Mimolette Cheese (LIMITED)

Much like how you can’t always judge a book by its cover, you can’t always tell how perfectly aged and delicious a cheese is by its outward appearance. Of course, in both books and cheeses, there are certainly some exceptions, and we’d definitely place Trader Joe’s Mimolette into that latter category. This traditional cheese from the Normandy region of France has been aged for a minimum of twelve months, and you can certainly see so in its golden-orange, butterscotch hue and beautifully bloomy rind. More importantly, however, you can also taste it in every savory, satisfying, subtly-sweet bite. 

Available in our cheese case only for the month of October, this able entry in our Spotlight Cheese program is rich and flavorful enough to be enjoyed entirely on its own, and also happens to pair wonderfully with some sliced Bartlett Pears and Prosciutto. We find that its buttery, nutty, and expertly matured flavor profile and subtly caramel-sweet finish make it a great option for enjoying with a glass of jammy Beaujolais, too. And for a true treat, you can’t beat serving a bit of Mimolette on a slice of baguette, drizzled with just a touch of Multi-Floral and Clover Honey.
