Tete De Moine Cheese: Real Gourmet Swiss Cheese
Are you looking for that real gourmet taste of Swiss cheeses? Then you should try the Tete de Moine cheese. Tete de Moine defines what a true gourmet Swiss cheese is, produced in only nine dairies in the northwestern portion of the Swiss Alps called the Bernese Jura.
Tete de Moine is considered as the “Cheese of the Monks” since according to history, the monks at the Bellelay abbey first produced it in the early 1100s. However, official records say that Tete de Moine was produced and sold during the year 1520. At first, Tete de Moine was called Fromage Bellelay, referring to the place it was originally made but was then renamed Tete de Moine in 1970.
In English, Tete de Moine literally means “monks heads”, referring to the tax (paid with cheese) by the abbey to the French kings and the shaved heads of the monks.
Tete de Moine is an unpasteurized, pressed curd cheese made from pure cow’s milk that is lightly cooked. The milk used to produce the Tete de Moine is delivered to the local dairy twice a day to make sure that it is fresh. The milk is then processed within modern facilities but without forgetting traditional cheese making methods. Although the taste of the Tete de Moine is very similar to other Swiss cheeses, the Swiss government emphasizes that it is NOT a factory made cheese.
Tete de Moine comes in mini wheels and is cut using a griolle, a special tool that lets you shave the cheese without much effort. Its outer rind is either sticky or hard, depending on the rind. Its interior paste is firm and comes in straw color, but darkens as it ages. The Tete de Moine ages from the outside in, so the part closer to its rind is much darker. Some people think that this unique feature is a sign of poor quality, when actually it indicates freshness.
One defining feature of the Tete de Moine is its unique aroma. Its aroma sets it apart from the rest of the Swiss cheeses. It smells like roasted nuts mixed with earthy wine and musty wood. As soon as you get a taste of the Tete de Moine, you will sense a full bodied flavor and complex hints of nuts and sweet fruits.
Ask any cheese monger, and they will tell you that the Tete de Moine cheese has much more flavor and smells greater than Emmental and Gruyere. If you are looking for a real gourmet Swiss mountain style cheese, then the Tete de Moine is your best choice. Go and try one today!
