Miranda

A long time ago, near the Noyan region, where our cheese factory is located, there was a place called Miranda. In homage to this original name, a cheese was created.

It is a firm cheese with a washed rind, with a coppery pink color, firm texture, and little suppleness.
This wonderful cheese has a nutty aroma and a hint of wet straw, with a salty flavor featuring slightly spicy notes of nuts.

This is one of the two cheeses we recommend for Swiss fondue; the other recommended cheese is Vacherin.

Cheese preservation

Semi-firm & firm cheese Washed Rinds

To best preserve semi firm to firm cheese with washed rinds, store them in the fridge between 2-4 degrees in the paper provided.

The paper will get malleable every time it is unwrapped but will not lose its efficiency to keep the cheese fresh. It is very normal that a layer of white mold grows on the paste of the cheese, this is the natural process of the rind trying to form.

This mold is not harmful; you may remove a thin slice and keep consuming the cheese. The cheese will keep for 4-5 weeks refrigerated.

  • “OUTSTANDING QUALITY and PRICE”

    I’ve been going to this cheese shop for several years now, and I’ve always had very good service, sometimes a wait, but it’s really worth it for the quality of the products, and the prices are lower than at the grocery store.
    Well worth the detour…
