Tete de Moine - Rosettes, semi-hard cheese. Purely aromatic, more distinct with age. Delicate, silky, ivory colored. First produced more than eight centuries ago by the monks of the abbey of Bellelay, Tête de Moine translates from French as “Monks Head.” This is a mocking name bestowed by French soldiers who compared the method of serving the cheese to shaving the top of a monks head. Traditionally, the cheese is prepared for eating by scraping to create thin shavings. The shavings are referred to as “rosettes.” This process helps to develop the texture and flavor by allowing oxygen to reach more of the surface – also resulting in a very cool presentation! AOP (Appellation d'origine ptorégée) from the Swiss Jura. The AOP label guarantees that this is the genuine cheese produced in the designated mountainous areas of the Jura according to a traditional method and subject to stringent quality controls. Made of raw cow's milk and aged for a minimum of 75 days, this semi-hard cheese has a dense texture and a seriously intense, fruity flavor.
