Bark: hard, natural, consistent, ocher to yellowish ocher.

Maturation: up to 34 months

Tasting and pairing

The original form of scraping the Tête de Moine makes it used for both direct consumption and to decorate a multitude of dishes. The use of the girolle brings a very playful component: the flower is collected with two fingers, it enjoys its fragrance and is eaten.

You can try to slightly pass the end of the flower over a plate with sweet paprika, which adds a very special taste.

The Tête de Moine AOP cheese has white wines, and is perfect with the Swiss chasellas, for its acidity and high graduation. But they can also be accompanied with white wines like the verdejo or the Galicians, albariño type, and red wines young or with little aging.

Served in the desserts, with fruits of autumn, like the grapes or the figs, it is perfect.

Tête de Moine AOP

Originally, Tête de Moine AOP has distinguished itself from most, not so much by its taste as by its presentation and, above all, by its curious cut in the form of 'flowers', specifically a carnation.

The name also gives clues to its eccentricities, and is that tête de moine means head of monk in French. This is how he was baptized for remembering how well the religious ate, who are credited with his invention and who apparently always had this delicacy in his mind or in his head, although there is also another version that refers to the Similarity between the shape of the cheese and the crown of the monks.

Whatever the reason for its curious name, time has gained fame for its intense taste, its great aroma, its compact mass and the original cylindrical shape of a cheese that is higher than wide, different from the image of Swiss cheese that many relate with large wheels and with a paste full of holes. Both the appellation of origin tête de moine and the scraping in the form of a flower are protected by imitations by law.

The Tête de Moine AOP cheese is also known as Bellelay, by the monastery of the Jura, its region of origin (in the French-speaking canton of Bern), where the monks first made it towards the twelfth century.

The first reference that consists of this variety of cheese is under the name Bellelay and dates from the year 1570. It was later, during the French Revolution, when it came to be known as the Tête de Moine which has already made it unmistakable.
