Mifroma Tête de Moine AOP Shaved

Tête de Moine AOP (literally “monk’s head”) is a specialty cheese with a history that dates back 800 years. A unique-tasting cheese with a unique serving style, Tête de Moine AOP is usually shaved into rosettes with a special cheese curling blade, or cut into small savoury chunks.

Its full flavour is thanks to whole, unpasteurised cow’s milk from dairy cattle that graze all summer on the spicy herbs and grasses of the Jura mountain pastures, and are fed a diet of fragrant hay from the same rolling meadows in winter. These cylindrical cheeses are produced in village dairies throughout the Bellelay area - a designated area of origin that earns this cheese its AOP status. The cheese is matured on spruce boards for approximately three months, which also adds depth of flavour.
