Tête de Moine

Semi-hard (shaved) from Jura bernois, SwitzerlandIn our shop

Tête de Moine AOP is a Swiss cow’s-milk cheese traditionally served not in wedges but shaved into delicate rosettes. The girolle makes those curls spectacular, but it also changes the eating experience by exposing a huge surface area to the air. The result is intensely aromatic, savoury and floral. It is one of the best examples of how the way we cut a cheese can completely alter how it tastes.
