Tête de Moine is a semi-hard, unpasteurised Swiss cheese renowned for its delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich, nutty flavour. Traditionally crafted in the Jura region of Switzerland, this exquisite cheese has been aged for a minimum of two and a half months, allowing its flavours to develop into a perfect balance of creaminess and complexity.
Unlike most cheeses, Tête de Moine is not sliced but rather shaved into delicate rosettes using a special tool called a girolle. This shaving process enhances the cheese’s aromas and creates an irresistibly soft, velvety texture that melts effortlessly on the palate. With every bite, you’ll experience subtle earthy notes, hints of roasted nuts, and a lingering buttery finish.
Perfect as a centrepiece for a cheese platter, Tête de Moine pairs beautifully with fresh fruits, honey, and toasted nuts. It also complements cured meats and crisp white wines, making it a versatile addition to any gourmet spread.

Keeping Your Tête de Moine Fresh
To preserve the delicate flavours and texture of Tête de Moine, store it in the refrigerator at a temperature of 4°C or lower. Since this cheese is best enjoyed when freshly shaved, it is recommended to keep it whole until ready to serve.
Proper Wrapping & Storage
Once opened, wrap Tête de Moine in cheese paper or wax paper to allow it to breathe while preventing it from drying out. Avoid using plastic wrap, as it can trap moisture and affect the cheese’s texture. For extra protection, place the wrapped cheese in an airtight container before refrigerating.
Best Serving Practices
For the best taste and texture, remove Tête de Moine from the fridge about 30 minutes before serving. Allowing it to reach room temperature enhances its aroma and ensures a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth experience.
By following these simple storage tips, you can fully enjoy the rich, nutty goodness of this cheese down to the very last shave.
