Tête de Moine Cheese

A Girole with Tete de Moines makes an excellent hors d’oeuvre

I purchased a Girole (Cheese Curler) from Cheesyplace and for a dinner party mounted a half wheel of Tete de Moine. The cheese takes on a different flavour which is delightful and it turned into a game of who could make the biggest florets. My guests had a great time. A lovely way to bring a bit of Swiss to Canada.

Not what I expected

I ordered four items recently. While three were fine, one foie gras pack was a major disappointment. I received it on December 19th with an expiration date of December 27th. Technically it wasn't expired, but with only an 8-day window, it was useless as a gift. I added foie gras to my cheese order because of a 'Buy 2' promo that explicitly stated your products have a long shelf life and are suitable for buying in advance. However, the promo disappeared from my cart during checkout, and my attempts to reach support via chat went unanswered. The foie gras I received definitely didn't meet the 'long shelf life' promise. Overall, the experience was not what I expected.

So pleased I found this cheese in Canada

Owning a "girolle" to finely grate the cheese into beautiful carnation like fleurets is a must. Super cheese at it's prime and impressed my guests. Thank you Vitali.
