Mimolette or
also known as Boule de Lille is a cheese from the Flanders region of France
made with the pasteurized milk [cow].
The name of this cheese
comes from the word "mimou" which means soft part although when it is
matured the texture becomes hard. Meanwhile, the name Boule de Lille was taken
from a cellar in Lille where the cheese was first made in France.
This cheese originally came
from the Netherlands and was introduced to the Flanders area when it became
part of the Netherlands. Basically this cheese is Edam cheese which is matured
for six to nine months. The process makes this cheese very hard and fragile.
Mimolette cheese is popular
as a snack eaten along with a beer. Most of these cheeses are eaten when they
are ripe called "vieux" or "etuve". The color of this
cheese orange cera due to the use of annatto.
