Monk's Head~

In French we call this cheese Tête De Moine..
It is delicious ..if you like your cheese to have a lot of body..taste and aroma:)
What I love about it?



The florets..
Les fleurs de Tête De Moine..

You need the Pirouette..



The little machination that makes the curls..~
I was fortunate to find the Pirouette incorporated w/ the cheese..

In this darling little box..



I love it~

I am going to try and save the pirouette until I can find the real wood and metal one.. It's a treat..I agree..
But then again..you should see my shoes:)



Bon Appétit!

And Happy gardening~ If the sun shines where you are~

  14. J'habite au pays de la tête de moine. C'est vrai que c'est un bon fromage. Présenté sous forme de fleurs ou de rosettes comme on les appelle celà fait toujours beaucoup d'effet.
    Le vrai nom de l'engin en bois, c'est girolle. Je ne sais pas où tu te trouves, mais il y a surement un moyen de t'en faire parvenir une.
    Voici le lien pour le site
    http://www.tetedemoine.ch/fr.aspx

    J'ai vu qu'il est possible de commander en ligne. Va voir sous l'onglet "vente".

    Bien à toi
