Mimolette

oil on wood, 6x12"


mimolette

This is one of the most intensely colored cheeses I've found so far. Mimolette is from Normandy, France and has a cheddar-like texture. In order to attempt any translation of the intensity of this cheese's color, I found it necessary to set up the opportunity for the viewer to see the translucent brilliance in this composition. A very smart and beautiful friend commented that "It's very architectural, the Frank Gehry of cheese portraits".

Di Bruno Bros. Label:
"Aged 6 months it develops a sweet, clean finish with a buttery hazelnut flavor that is well-balanced and defined."
