Cheese Blogging
Inspired by Francophoney, here beginneth a series, possibly regular, recording our adventures into cheese.
First up, Mimolette Vieille. This is a hard cheese, sold in slices from a big ball, and is bright orange. On first taste, it has a lemony flavour that Mr M. didn't like at all. This then rapidly changes through creamy, to nutty, and finally to an almost chilli burst of super-strong cheesy flavour.
The odour too is rather lemony: I think this could be kept in the fridge without gassing the entire house every time you open the door. It's the sort of cheese to eat in a chunky wedge with your baguette, or to contrast the sharpness with a sweet apple: again, the light scent means it could be taken on picnics, even in the car, and not leave devastation in its wake. I will definitely buy this one again.

Oh yes, I like Mimolette too.
I've just brought back a selection of fromage from my brothers French retreat. Current favourite of the hard ones is a local cheese called Abondance.
