Tête de Moine AOP

Tête de Moine cheese uncovers a delicacy with roots that stretch back to the Bellelay Monastery in 1192, a whole century before the Swiss Confederation came into existence. The Bellelay monks, mentioned in historical records, were known to use this very cheese to settle their annual property dues, demonstrating its value and tradition even back then. Today, while our dairy farmers and cheesemakers are equipped with contemporary tools, they remain true to the established, time-honored techniques that have been passed down through generations. It’s this blend of old-world wisdom and modern efficiency that allows us to consistently produce Tête de Moine cheese of exceptional quality, mirroring the same dedication as the monks of yesteryear.
