This new creation from Holland is unlike any other sheep milk cheese you have ever tasted before. The milk comes from a small farm where the sheep are treated like family. Even though this cheese has been aged for one year, it has developed a sweet and nutty flavor.
Four kinds of milk: Buffalo, Sheep, Cow and Goat milk, have been paired together into this one fine cheese. The combination of four grass fed milks seem to to have composed a cheese symphony. It is just an amazing cheese, creamy and full of layers upon layers of flavor.
Made with a drizzle of honey added to pure goat milk for a cashew-like nutty sweetness. Slightly sweet, full of flavor, yet not strong or salty. Easy to slice, grate or cube, wonderful in salads or as a snack with fruit.
The greyish rind of mature Mimolette is the result of cheese mites intentionally introduced to add flavour by their action on the surface of the cheese.
When younger, its flavour resembles that of Parmesan. Most cheese-lovers appreciate it most when it is “vieux” (old) and the flavour has developed very much to that of hazelnuts.

Pressed, washed, uncooked cheese made from Murcian goats’ milk and cured for a minimum of 45 days for large cheeses and 30 days for small ones. Macerated in red wine during ripening to give the rind the characteristic color and aroma.
A pleasantly sharp aroma and unsalty flavor. The red wine in which the cheese is soaked during ripening gives a flowery aroma and a pleasant aftertaste with reminiscences of goat’s milk and cream. The texture is creamy and elastic.
Cylindrical in shape, the height is 6-7 cm (2½ -3”) and the diameter 7-9 cm (3-3½”) in cheeses weighing 300-400 g (10-14 oz) and, in the larger ones weighing 1-2 kg (2.2-4-4 lb), the height is the same but the diameter is 12-18 cm (5-7”). The rind is smooth, very light and a characteristic wine color. The paste is dense, compact when cut, ivory-colored and may have a few small holes.
This cheese is naturally smoked with real oakwood chips using a cold smoke technique - no artificial ingredients, flavoring or processing are used! It's creamy, smooth, mellow and lightly smoky, slices well and melts beautifully. Ideal for BBQ Parties, melted on steaks or burgers. It's a perfect complement to meats and cold cuts, delicious with mustard.
Isabella is a gourmet cheese of exceptionally high and consistent quality. It is like a buttery aged Gouda but nuttier and sweeter. It cuts with ease. Made with milk from free-range grass grazing Holsteins, It can be served as an hors d’oeuvre, in meals or as part of a delightful after-dinner cheese plate. It goes well with both red and white wines. It offers a true indulgence for the genuine cheese connoisseur.
This cheese has developed a sweet butterscotch-like flavor, nutty and salty, with more crunches than the Isabella. The cheese is hard, but softens quickly in your mouth. It is rich and satisfying and a perfect cheese for sharing among friends. It pairs very well with a deep dark red wine.
Xavier David Comté has the best ripening process from the Marcel Petite cheese dairy: “slow ripening”. The cheeses are pampered 14 to 18 months at a low temperature (8 degrees Celsius) in the cellars of the Saint-Antoine Fort, a unique place in cut stone. Our master cheese- maker goes there every 3 months to taste and select the very best wheels.
Hard cheese made from raw cow’s milk.
