Tête de Moine AOP
A cheese that’s been turned.
Its history dates back to the Bellelay Abbey as early as 1192. Back then, this cheese was even used as a form of currency.
Today, Tête de Moine isn’t sliced; instead, it’s turned into fine rosettes using a Girolle. This allows its aroma to unfold with particular intensity.
On the palate: aromatic, and wonderfully delicate.
Tradition you can see and taste.
