The recipe for mini mimolette cakes.
This uncooked pressed cheese is famous for its orange color. Originally from the North, prepared with cow's milk, it appeared in the 17th century with the aim of replacing Edam, the importation of which was then prohibited in France.
It is, it is said, Colbert who would be at the initiative of this creation. It was first called "boule de Lille" or "old Holland", before being baptized "mimolette".
It is matured for a minimum of 3 months but can reach 24 months (extra old). It then acquires a texture close to parmesan.
Perfect in a pastry gratin or in a croque-monsieur, the mimolette has its place on a cheese platter.
Mimolette has been recognized since 1935, when a treaty was signed between France and Holland.
