Tete de Moine (literally translates to “monk’s head”) is a cylindrical, semi-hard cheese with a smear rind. This cheese is not cut, but shaved with a girolle into flower shaped rosettes. These are best produced when the cheeses come straight from refrigeration. Tete de Moine can be enjoyed with an apertif, as dessert cheese, or just a snack.
