Mimolette

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimolette

Mimolette is a really cool-looking French cheese. As you can see, it looks almost exactly like a cantaloupe. It is also a very, very vibrant orange. Its flavor and texture vary with age, but I have only ever seen it available in the aged variety.

I don't really care for Mimolette's texture. It's very hard, but not crumbly as much as intensely chewy. The flavor is interesting, though. It's a very strong, bright taste that I imagine would go better with beer than with wine. If you plan on serving cheese at your next party, Mimolette would be a good choice since it's cool-looking and has a pretty unique taste/texture combination. As for me, it's not my favorite, but I don't hate it or anything. Also, its crust is made by cheese mites, which is neat.

RATING: 2 out of 5 stars
