Tête de Moine: a Swiss Classic You Don’t Want to Miss
Tête de Moine is one of those cheeses that sounds royal, but it unironically just means “monk’s head”. Hailing from the Jura Mountains in Switzerland, this semi-soft cow’s milk cheese is rich, creamy, and just a little tangy—everything you want in a great cheese. The real fun comes in how it’s served. Tête de Moine is traditionally shaved into delicate rosettes using a special tool called a Girolle, which brings out its full flavor and texture in the best possible way.
Available now on our menu is the AOP classic, expertly crafted by Fromage de Bellalay in Switzerland. This Swiss masterpiece delivers a smooth buttery texture with just the right amount of nuttiness and tang. Whether you’re building a cheese board, adding it to a meeting or enjoying it by itself, Tete de Main is sure to impress.
Tête de Moine is super versatile. It’s perfect on a charcuterie board, paired with prosciutto, salami, or a little fresh fruit. You can also just enjoy it with some crispy bread or crackers for a simple yet indulgent snack.
It’s also great for cooking. Shave it over a salad, add it to a grilled sandwich, or even melt it over roasted meats for extra richness. And if you’re in the mood for something sweet and savory, try it with a drizzle of honey on top.
Tête de Moine is the kind of cheese that makes any meal feel a little more special. Whether you’re entertaining or treating yourself to something delicious, this one’s always a good choice.
