World Championship Cheese Contest - Best of Class

2014

Tête de Moine AOP is a Swiss cheese traditionally produced in the Jura region. It is crafted by Fromagerie Villeret SA, noted for producing this cheese adhering to rigorous standards. Tête de Moine, which translates to "Monk's Head," is unique in its presentation and consumption.


The cheese is not sliced but rather scraped into delicate rosettes using a Girolle or similar device. This scraping technique enhances the cheese's aromatic qualities and texture. The cheese boasts a semi-hard texture, a smooth rind, and a flavor profile that is both aromatic and tangy, with a hint of nuttiness.
