Spring is a remarkable season in Isigny Ste-Mere's small corner of Normandy, marked by a distinct transformation of our terroir. As the water-coated marshland naturally drains, lush meadows and fresh grasses emerge, perfect for grazing cows. These pastures are abundant with mineral salts, nutrients, and flourishing microflora, enhancing the unique character of our Mimolette. Isigny's iconic Mimolette benefits from the first batch of spring milk with grassy, savoury, and gently fruity, nuanced notes that develop into balanced, one-of-a-kind flavors, reflecting Normandy’s exceptional terroir in Spring.
Mimolette cheese is hard enough that it can easily be grated over pastas, risottos and salads, but still pliable enough to be cubed and enjoyed in a cheese board. Simply serve it with some hearty bread and tart fruit to contrast with the cheese’s nutty sweetness.
