Tete de Moine is a unique and delicious Swiss cheese that is often found in luxury cheese gift baskets. This cheese is made from the fresh, raw milk of cows that graze in the Swiss Alps. It has a unique texture and flavour, with a sweet, nutty flavour and a creamy texture. The cheese is made by hand, and is aged for several months before it is ready to be enjoyed. It is a favourite among cheese lovers and makes a great addition to any holiday cheese gift basket. The name comes from the former Bellelay monastery in the Swiss Jura mountains.where the Monks of the Bellelay Monastery made up this cheese many hundred years ago. The cheese was renamed Tête de Moine after the French Revolution. Tête de Moine literally means "monks head".
