The Tête de Moine is an iconic cheese from the Swiss Jura, produced for over eight centuries in the heights of Bellelay. Made from raw cow's milk, it is aged on spruce boards. Its fine and firm paste, ranging in color from ivory to light yellow, is protected by a natural reddish-brown rind. This cheese is enjoyed in rosettes obtained using a girolle, revealing an airy texture and subtle aromas of mountain flowers, dried fruits, and soft leather. For a beautiful pairing, accompany the Tête de Moine with a dry and mineral white wine such as a Swiss Chasselas or a Savagnin from the French Jura; their finesse highlights the floral aromas and the melting texture of the cheese, while respecting its elegance.
