More about Tete de Moine ... Tete de Moine means "monks head". This cheese was invented by the monks of Belleray Abbey in the Burnese Jura, and the brothers taught the local farmers how to make it. It is only made with rich summer milk and tradition has it that the first cheeses are ready to eat only when the first leaves of autumn have dropped from the trees.The rind can range from smooth and slightly oily to rough and brown in colour. The paste is firm, and creamy to straw-yellow, darkening as it ages.  The flavour is sweet and tangy with musty wood nuts and mould. Traditionally the cheese is served in thinly sliced curls with some black pepper and ground cumin. Beautiful when served with a plate of air-dried meats, vegetable crudites or fruits.Tete de moine can be sliced vertically but to get the frilly curls of cheese which are served in Switzerland you will need to use a Girolle, or cheese curler. The curls are achieved by turning the handle of this special knife on a stand and shaving the cheese across the top. Whereas pasteurisation destroys the natural microflora of the milk, unpasteurised or raw milk from the AOC region used for Tete de Moine fully preserves its unique taste and is a prerequisite for the production of this cheese with its distinct aroma.As a raw milk cheese Tete de Moine is rich in proteins and minerals.
