A unique cheese

There isn’t any other cheese that present and tastes like Tete de Moine. It’s a crowd pleaser on both accounts. We need more of it.

A Girole with Tete de Moines makes an excellent hors d’oeuvre

I purchased a Girole (Cheese Curler) from Cheesyplace and for a dinner party mounted a half wheel of Tete de Moine. The cheese takes on a different flavour which is delightful and it turned into a game of who could make the biggest florets. My guests had a great time. A lovely way to bring a bit of Swiss to Canada.

So pleased I found this cheese in Canada

Owning a "girolle" to finely grate the cheese into beautiful carnation like fleurets is a must. Super cheese at it's prime and impressed my guests. Thank you Vitali.

Tête de Moine Cheese

The Facts

Country: Switzerland
Milk Type: Unpasteurized Cow
Age:  3-6 Months

Tasting Notes:

The cylindrical shaped Tête de Moine Cheese, which means "monk's head", has been produced in Switzerland for more than 8 centuries.

This unique cheese is traditionally shaved into thin, rosette shaped slices rather than being sliced by hand with a knife. Shaving the cheese in this fashion allows its flavours to fully develop.

A special knife called a "Girolle" is used to simply shave the cheese from the top, thin layer by thin layer.

The delicate cheese rosettes that result melt in your mouth. The texture is dense, with an intense, fruity, sweet flavour.

Available in whole or half wheels.

Pair with a Beaujolais.
