Everything is Set for a Perfect Evening
Your home is perfectly prepared to welcome guests. The table is beautifully set, the candles and string lights are glowing, and in the kitchen, a yellow wine chicken stew is simmering gently. You’ve already planned the evening in your mind: it will start with cocktails in the living room, then your guests will move to the dining room (decorated as if half the nearby Action store was brought in). The appetizer? Smoked salmon with a lemony sauce and toasted bread. The main course? The chicken, served with morels and sautéed potatoes. Dessert? A frozen log cake, patiently waiting in the freezer to make its grand entrance. You breathe a sigh of relief: everything is unfolding just as you envisioned.
But suddenly, you turn pale… The cheese platter! Amid the tree, gifts, shopping, and decorations, you completely forgot to visit the cheesemonger. In a panic, you call your vendor, only to be greeted by the answering machine: the shop has just closed. No cheese until the beginning of January… So, you rush to the supermarket, hoping to make up for it. Don’t worry: a very clever mom, known as @not_so_superflu on social media, has discovered the perfect cheese for such emergencies. “At Christmas, it’ll look amazing on the table,” marvels the culinary content creator. And you’ll find, this visually appealing cheese is readily available in supermarkets, especially during the holiday season.
Introducing La Tête de Moine
What’s it called? La tête de moine! This cow’s milk cheese, protected by a PDO (Protected Designation of Origin), originates from the Bellelay region in Switzerland. Its history dates back to the Middle Ages when monks produced it in the Bellelay abbey. Since then, its production has expanded to cheesemakers and was initially labeled as AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée), and later as PDO. While it might look ordinary at first glance, its method of consumption is truly unique. Thanks to a patented tool in 1982, known as the “girolle,” everyone can scrape the cheese to create beautiful rosettes. As a result, since this invention, the production of tête de moine has skyrocketed.
In supermarkets, you can find it in large blocks or pre-cut rosettes. We bet that these cheese petals, as thin as they are refined, will impress your guests! More than just a large cheese platter, la tête de moine and its girolle promise a real moment of sociability.
