Tête de Moine 800g AOP

Tête de Moine is a semi-hard, raw-milk cow’s milk cheese from the Swiss Jura mountains, with AOP certification. You don’t slice this cheese, you shave it into paper-thin, delicate curls known as rosettes. To do this, you use a girolle, a rotating cheese shaver, or a thin knife drawn vertically across the cheese the way monks have done for centuries. It’s precisely the shaving that brings the flavor to life: the thin curls release their full aroma on the tongue.

The flavor is intense and nutty, and the cheese develops its subtle aromas as it ripens on pine wood boards. This mature 50+ cheese is a perfect fit for a charcuterie and cheese board, where the airy rosettes make an instant impression. Because the cheese is pregnancy-safe, you can enjoy it during pregnancy as well.
