Ingredients:
Fat 51+, unpasteurized cow's milk, rennet, salt, starter culture
The secret of the Monk's Head
The Tête de Moine (literally translated: monk's head) is a centuries-old Swiss cheese specialty originating from the Bellelay abbey in the Swiss Jura. The cheese is still produced in the traditional way with unpasteurized (raw) cow's milk from cows that graze in the summer on herb-rich mountain meadows. This gives the cheese its distinct, full and spicy aroma. The fact that the authentic preparation method and superior quality of this cheese are still unsurpassed is proven by the recent Gold Medal at the World Cheese Awards 2025-2026!
What makes this cheese world famous is the way it is eaten. You do not cut a Tête de Moine into cubes or slices, but you 'scrape' it with a special cheese curler (the Girolle). By scraping the cheese, the surface comes into contact with more oxygen, allowing the flavors and aromas to develop optimally. The wafer-thin cheese rosettes literally melt on the tongue. Scraping the Tête de Moine is a festive ritual that immediately elevates every cheese board or drink to a higher, award-winning level.
Carefully packed for an optimal taste experience
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we know how delicate a premium raw milk cheese is. We pack the cheese very carefully. To perfectly preserve the authentic taste and firm structure of this award-winning cheese during the journey, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. This way you can immediately enjoy the ultimate Swiss cheese experience at home.
Frequently Asked Questions about Tête de Moine
Is this cheese suitable for pregnant women?
No, unfortunately not. Because the Tête de Moine is traditionally prepared with unpasteurized (raw) cow's milk, it is advised as a precaution not to consume this cheese during pregnancy.
How do I serve the Tête de Moine best?
For the best taste experience, take the cheese and the Girolle (cheese curler) directly from the refrigerator to scrape. The cheese is easiest to scrape when it is still cold and firm. Then serve the scraped rosettes at room temperature.
Is this cheese suitable for vegetarians?
No, animal rennet is used in the authentic AOP preparation of Tête de Moine. Because of this, this cheese is not suitable for a strict vegetarian diet.
Do you also sell other Swiss cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to this golden Tête de Moine, we have a wonderful range of the tastiest classics from Switzerland. View our complete category Swiss Cheese to discover all our high-mountain delicacies.
