THIS is a cheese shop !

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.

Mimolette perfection!

I'm a huge mimolette fan, and this one is perfectly aged, with delicious flavors. Combined with Capella's plain crackers is perfection!
