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.

Preservation
  • “Truly a Gem”

    This is well worth a visit! We go here often and the variety is wonderful and the cheese is literally award winning (check out the display). Friends and family who generally think they don’t like anything beyond cheddar are astounded by the number of cheeses they love from here.

  • “OMG. What can I say.”

    OMG. What can I say. I’ve known this place from 25 yrs ago. We kept going back despite the renovations and building of the new store. They keep expanding their offer. Great cheeses and more. They started selling fresh bread and jams many years back. The secret is out. On a Thursday afternoon in September people still queue up with a shopping list for their friends and family. They’ve setup a few picnic tables and additional parking to accommodate the masses. Come early come quick come often!!!
