There’s no better way to transport yourself to the heart of the alps than through the flavours of iconic cheeses. Perfect for enjoying the winter vibes at home, we have two cheese products that will bring the essence of the French and Swiss Alps directly to your kitchen.

Tête de Moine AOC: A Swiss Alpine Treasure

Hailing from the Jura Mountains in Switzerland, Tête de Moine AOC is a cheese steeped in tradition and flavor. Its unique name, meaning “monk’s head,” comes from the practice of monks in the Middle Ages, who created this cheese in the abbeys of the region. With a firm yet creamy texture and an intense, aromatic taste, this cheese is a true representation of the Swiss Alps.

The AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) designation guarantees the authenticity of this cheese, ensuring it's made to strict quality standards and from milk sourced exclusively from the Jura region. Tête de Moine is traditionally served in delicate rosettes, shaved with a special tool called a Girolle, which enhances its natural flavors and aroma. This cheese will transport you straight to the heart of Switzerland, making for an ideal choice for a cosy, ski chalet inspired evening. Perfect for pairing with a glass of crisp white wine or a hearty Swiss beer, Tête de Moine offers a satisfying and sophisticated alpine experience without ever having to leave the comfort of your home.

Raclette Cheese: Melted Magic for Ski Season Comfort

No mention of alpine cheeses would be complete without the indulgent, creamy comfort of Raclette. Originating in Switzerland and also popular across the French Alps, Raclette is the quintessential cheese for ski season—perfect for melting over potatoes, cured meats, or even fresh bread for a heart-warming après-ski meal.

Our Raclette cheese is the finest Swiss variety, carefully made to capture the authentic, rich flavor that has made it a beloved staple in alpine cuisine. With its smooth, melty texture and slightly nutty taste, it’s no wonder Raclette has been a winter favorite for centuries. Whether you’re hosting a cosy gathering or enjoying a quiet night in, melting this cheese over your favorite dishes will create a comforting, melt-in-your-mouth experience that brings the warmth of the Alps to your table.

For the full alpine experience, pair your Raclette with pickles, onions, or even some fresh crusty bread. And don’t forget the wine—an earthy, fruity red or a crisp white will complement the creamy richness of the cheese beautifully.
