Tete de Moin

Elegant, aromatic, and delightfully unique, Tête de Moine is a Swiss treasure that transforms any occasion into a culinary experience. Crafted in the Jura Mountains of Switzerland from rich, creamy cow’s milk, this semi-hard cheese is known for its unmistakable flavor — a harmonious blend of nutty, earthy, and slightly floral notes that develop beautifully with age.

But what truly sets Tête de Moine apart is how it’s served. Rather than sliced, it is traditionally shaved into delicate, rose-like curls using a girolle. This method releases the cheese’s full bouquet of aromas and creates an exquisite presentation, making it as visually stunning as it is delicious.

Its texture is both dense and creamy, melting on the palate and revealing layers of complex flavors with each bite. Whether you’re creating an unforgettable cheese board or adding a touch of sophistication to your next gathering, Tête de Moine is a showstopper.

Perfect Pairings

  • Cured Meats: Pair with thin slices of prosciutto, smoky speck, or a bold soppressata for a balanced bite.

  • Fruits: Complement with sweet grapes, ripe figs, or crisp apple slices. Dried apricots or cherries add a touch of sweetness.

  • Nuts: Enjoy with toasted walnuts, Marcona almonds, or hazelnuts for a rich, nutty contrast.

  • Honey & Jams: Drizzle with wildflower honey, serve with fig jam, or pair with a dollop of black cherry preserves.

  • Crackers & Bread: Arrange on seeded crackers, crusty baguette slices, or a slice of dark rye bread for a rustic touch.

  • Wine: Sip with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, a light Pinot Noir, or a sparkling Champagne to enhance the cheese’s delicate flavors.

  • Gourmet Salads: Create a luxurious salad with Tête de Moine curls over peppery arugula, toasted walnuts, and a drizzle of truffle oil.

A centerpiece on any cheese board and a delight for the senses, Tête de Moine is more than just a cheese — it’s an experience, a work of art, and a taste of Swiss tradition.
