Tête de Moine AOP Extra
Savoury, buttery, mature
This cheese is produced according to AOP specifications, and is matured for at least two and a half months on pine boards. Only seven cheese dairies in the Bernese and Jura hills are allowed to make Tête de Moine in 2023. Dating back to the 12th century, Tête de Moine has an incomparable flavour and a fine grained paste which melts in the mouth.
Matured for >6 months, the extra profile has a particularly fine, smooth texture and a pure, aromatic and spicier taste than the younger profiles.
