365 Cheeses

Mimolette in its whole form resembles a cantaloupe. In in its sliced form it resembles a sliced cantaloupe. The outer rind is simply dried aged Mimolette cheese that has been fed on by cheese mites. The interior orange color like most orange cheeses comes from the annatto of the Achiote plant. The flavor of this cheese is great. My wife Fleming said "Wow" four times. I counted. It tastes something of a mix between gouda and cheddar. It was aged but not to the point of being dried out. It still had some elasticity.
