A more mature, meatier version of Sparkenhoe Red Leicester, selected and aged for at least 12 months. The aging process creates richly savory, brothy flavors and a texture that is crunchier and more crystalline than its younger counterpart.

First time I tried this cheese was as part of a Cheese Club delivery and I got hooked, and have ordered this at least 2 times more since then.
The salty nand tangy cheese matches perfectly with the sweetness of the grapes - it's a whole cheese board in itself!
Dedinitely.oke of the best cheeses that I've ordered from Capella!
This is, quite possibly, my favorite cheese in the world - and I had some trepidation about how switching to pasteurized milk and the aged monks being replaced by apprentices would effect the product.
I am happy to say that my palate did not discern any drop off in quality or flavor. It must be the grazing of the sheep and the biome of the aging cellars that make this cheese so special.
Will certainly purchase again and again. Pair it with very good Pinot Noir
Excellent, as usual!
Thank you, Raymond, for making this possible.
Always outstanding and excellent for the keto or carnivore diet! I cannot get enough!!
I just got a pound of this parmesan and it is out of this world good! Get you some!
On my third visit to Capella, I placed an order for several 1 lb blocks of some new-found favorites. The Vielle Mimolette is one of those: a firm cheese, very subtle in the mouth, reminiscent of a Dry Jack with a beautiful orange-the-fruit orange color. Worked well a chardonnay, and almost as well with a robust Zinfandel. I'd nibble it, rather that putting it with bread or wafer.
It does not get any better than this……
I have served it on little pieces of bread any guest have asked me what type of cheese it is!!!
Amazing on waffles!!!!!
Amazing everyday we have used it!!!!
To also make things great was how it was packed perfect delivery…..
Perfect service!
Thank you…..
Super easy to order and give as gifts for anyone that is a cheese lover.
Fantastic cheese. It is cold-smoked with other hints of honey, apple, nectarine and the bite of the blue. It results in a delicious mixture of a smoked, spicy and sweet fusion. Highly recommended. Very good with Cabernet
Delicious cheese, olive oil and designer charcuterie boards! Knowledgeable & friendly staff!
Got three cheeses, fig spread, and a cool cheese tasting journal, along with pairing notes. Packed well with an ice box.
I have been receiving shipments of cheese for the last several months and have enjoyed this immensely. The selections are always interesting, things I have not tried before and delicious. I've shared with my friends and family all of whom have enjoyed. Tonight we're hosting a dinner party and featuring the January selection on a charcuterie board. We enjoy the suggestions for wine pairings and the description of each of the cheeses each month. Thanks for a great product and service!
We have participated in several cheese of the month clubs. Capella Cheese of the month club is by far the best we have tried. The tasting notes provided and the attention to detail with respect to timely shipping, the tasting journal given and the wine suggestions put Capella Cheese Club way above the rest. Truly outstanding!
Great
