The Tête de Moine AOP, Fromage de Bellelay, is a cylindrical, smear-ripened, semi-hard cheese made from silage-free milk. The product, which is matured for at least 2.5 months, owes its strong, unique flavour to the rich grass upon which the cattle feed and is a typical product of its ‘terroir’. It has an exceptionally fine consistency thanks to its 800-year-old recipe.
