Ingredients of Tête de Moine
Ingredients:
Fat 51+, unpasteurized cow's milk, rennet, salt, starter culture
The gold of the Swiss Alps
The Tête de Moine (which literally means 'Monk's Head') is a centuries-old Swiss cheese that originated in the Bellelay Abbey in the Jura. This cheese is traditionally prepared from raw (unpasteurized) cow's milk from cows that graze on herb-rich mountain meadows in the summer. That the authentic preparation method and exceptional quality of this cheese are still highly praised, is proven by the fact that this cheese was awarded Gold at the World Cheese Awards 2025-2026. An absolute top achievement!
What makes the Tête de Moine truly unique is the way it is eaten. The cheese is not cut into cubes or slices, but shaved into wafer-thin rosettes with a special cheese curler (girolle). By shaving, a lot of oxygen reaches the cheese, which brings out the complex, spicy and floral aromas to their fullest. This half cheese is the ideal size to place directly on your cheese curler and enjoy a spectacular and delicious addition to your cheese board.
Carefully packed to preserve top quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we understand that an award-winning cheese deserves the best treatment. We pack your half Tête de Moine very tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To keep the delicate structure and the rich raw milk taste in top condition during transport, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. This way you can immediately enjoy this Swiss pride at home.
Frequently Asked Questions about Tête de Moine
Is this cheese suitable for pregnant women?
No. Because the Tête de Moine is traditionally prepared with unpasteurized (raw) cow's milk, we strongly advise against consuming this cheese during pregnancy as a precaution.
How do I best store a half Tête de Moine?
You can best store the cheese covered in the refrigerator, preferably under a cheese dome. This prevents the cheese from drying out and keeps it perfectly suitable to shave beautiful rosettes from later with your girolle.
Is this cheese suitable for vegetarians?
No, animal rennet is traditionally used in the preparation of authentic Tête de Moine. As a result, the cheese is not suitable for a strict vegetarian diet.
Do you also sell other Swiss cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to this beautiful Tête de Moine, we have a wide range of the tastiest cheeses from the Alps. View our complete category Swiss Cheese to discover all our specialties.
