This weekend I was surprised by an invite from a friend to have dinner at his house. I was even more surprised when he gifted me a Girolle and a Tête de Moine. Wow! What a present!

Tête de Moine and Challah

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any Zopf to eat my cheese with. If anyone knows of a Swiss bakery in the bay area, I’d like to know. At any rate, the bread you see in the picture is actually a Challah, which doesn’t have milk and has honey, so it’s not quite the same flavor. However, it was ok for having the Tête de Moine.

I’ve also found Tête de Moine at iGourmet, so I’ll be able to get some more once I finish this one. Is there a place in the bay area where they sell Tête de Moine?
