Showstopper cheese that also tastes Marvelous!

I’ve known this cheese and it’s earthy, nutty flavour and texture for almost 20 years. 8 years ago I started making my own cheese. Tried replicating a version of the Tete de Moine 5 times. Each time I had an edible product with very similar taste and look, but lacked the elasticity to shave into floretes. Planned to make it again in late winter to enjoy and share with my friends on my birthday in June. Life got in the way as it usually does, and I was unable to make this cheese. Started my search for the authentic imported Tete de Moine in the beginning of May at local and quasi local cheese shops. I even ordered from 2 places, one that even guaranteed delivery for the first week of June then reported that suppliers were out of this particular cheese. I almost gave up then did an online search just ti feel that I had exhausted my options. Not only did I find my dear cheese, but it was in my kitchen the day after I ordered it in perfect condition with cool packs and its wonderful aromas. As for the cost, I paid almost the same as my first purchase 20 years ago. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth every toonie!, and I know how much it costs to produce a cheese. It was a pleasure to share with my family and friends!
Thank you, cheesyplace.com !

Tête de Moine Cheese

I am very grateful to the store for helping me discover the wonderful Tête de Moine cheese. Vitaly, your store is excellent not only with its selection of cheeses, but also with excellent service. I think my acquaintances and friends to whom I gave your coordinates will be as pleased as I am. I used to order cheeses from abroad. Now I don't need it. With you I can and do find cheeses that I like. With sincere respect to you, Dr. Vadim Shulman.

Tête de Moine Cheese

The Facts

Country: Switzerland
Milk Type: Unpasteurized Cow
Age:  3-6 Months

Tasting Notes:

The cylindrical shaped Tête de Moine Cheese, which means "monk's head", has been produced in Switzerland for more than 8 centuries.

This unique cheese is traditionally shaved into thin, rosette shaped slices rather than being sliced by hand with a knife. Shaving the cheese in this fashion allows its flavours to fully develop.

A special knife called a "Girolle" is used to simply shave the cheese from the top, thin layer by thin layer.

The delicate cheese rosettes that result melt in your mouth. The texture is dense, with an intense, fruity, sweet flavour.

Available in whole or half wheels.

Pair with a Beaujolais.
