Tete De Moine Cheese AOP Classic

Tete De Moine AOP Classic - Geopraphical Indication Product

Tête de Moine is a semi-hard cow cheese with a silky body which easily melts in your mouth. It is not cut, but pared into the shape of delicate rosettes. The paring technique increases the amount of air coming into contact with the surface of the cheese, altering the structure of its body and allowing the full flavour of Tête de Moine cheese to develop. This gives the cheese an even more delicious taste.

Connoisseurs appreciate this natural product as the highlight of the cheese plate, as an aperitif, as a dessert or a snack. Tête de Moine AOP is made from silage-free milk, rennin, milk cultures and salt, without any additives. Therefore, does not contain any gluten which makes it edible for people suffering from celiac disease or gluten enteropathy.

"Tête de Moine" as a proper term has been used since about 1790, but the cheese has a much longer history. The monastery of Bellelay was established in 1136 and confirmed by Pope Innocent II six years later. As early as 1192, or one century before the beginnings of the Swiss Confederation, the monks of the monastery Bellelay were first mentioned in connection with cheese. At that time they paid the annual rent on various properties with cheese made in their abbey. Time and again documents from subsequent centuries mention the use of the valuable cheese as a means of payment.

Only cheese that passes the strict quality tests may bear the name Tête de Moine AOP, Fromage de Bellelay. Three types of Tête de Moine AOP are on offer: Tête de Moine AOP Classic, Tête de Moine AOP RESERVE and Tête de Moine AOP Bio. The Tête de Moine AOP RESERVE is distinguished from the Tête de Moine AOP Classic primarily through its longer maturity period, which gives it a spicier flavour and more delicate body. The production of Tête de Moine AOP Bio meets the requirements of the specifications of the Bio label. The Tête de Moine AOP is not cut, but twisted into fine rosettes with a paring device such as a Girolle®or Pirouette®.
