| Description | A savoury and intense raw cow's milk cheese produced in the Jura region |
|---|---|
| Appearance | The rind is brown with reddish shades, and the semi-hard paste is fine and unctuous, ivory or pale straw yellow in colour, depending on the ageing |
| Taste | Savoury, rich, intense, with aromas of hay and mushrooms, becoming increasingly pronounced with ageing |
| Maturing | At least 4 months |
| Curiosity | Created in 1136 in the Bellelay Monastery, Tête de Moine (meaning 'monk's head') was awarded PDO status in 2001. Fromage de Bellelay, as it is also known, is produced in the mountainous region between the districts of Moutier, Franches-Montagnes, Porrentruy and Courtelary in the Swiss Jura, using milk sourced exclusively from these areas. It is then processed and matured on site according to traditional techniques, as required by the regulations |
| Our selection | A very special product made with extreme rigour: raw milk, produced between 700 and 1300 metres above sea level, free grazing from May to September and a hay-based diet in winter, for a cheese that accepts no compromises |
| Suggestions | Once removed from the refrigerator, it should be cut horizontally and scraped with a special tool, the girolle, which allows you to form delicious cheese rosettes; perfect as an aperitif, at the end of a meal or to add a graceful touch to any cheese platter |
