Tête de Moine AOP Golden by Les Frères Marchand is a Swiss cow’s milk cheese, traditionally shaped into 1kg cylindrical wheels. Recognized under AOP certification, it is designed for use with a girolle, producing fine, floral rosettes that enhance both presentation and flavor.

Detailed Information
Produced in the Jura Mountains of Switzerland, Tête de Moine (literally “Monk’s Head”) is a semi-hard cheese with a firm yet pliable texture. The "Golden" designation reflects a select quality grade characterized by optimal aging and uniformity. Its aroma is pronounced, and the flavor is rich, tangy, and slightly nutty. Shaved into rosettes using a girolle, the cheese aerates, intensifying its aromatic and gustatory expression.
