Tête de Moine is a pressed, unpasteurized cow milk cheese from the Bernese Jura region of Switzerland. The name means "monk's head."

Tête de Moine is different from most cheeses in that instead of being sliced, it is scraped with a knife or another tool known as a girolle.

Vacherin Mont d'Or hails from Switzerland on the border of France near the mountain D'Or. Traditionally made with the winter milk of the same cows that produce Gruyere in the summer, this cheese is only available from October until April, making it all the more precious. The cheese must be made from cows munching on straw and fodder; once outside to graze at pasture, their milk is used for larger alpine cheeses. Swiss regulations also dictate the cheese must be produced at elevations of 2,297 feet or higher.

Wildwood

Wildwood has an impressive zesty flavour, but also a very rustic and appealing appearance. The aromatic rind gives the cheese a contrasting texture to the interior and typical aromas associated with washed rind cheeses. Wildwood is rich and creamy on the palate with a nice balance of salt. Wildwood is named after the Wildwood Dam in St. Marys.

Wildwood tastes excellent in sandwiches or just on a cheese platter with fruits, dried meat and bread. It can also be melted very well and used in grilled cheese sandwiches. This cheese is unique in its appearance and taste.
