Answer: If it is uncut quite some time. Same as other solid ch -
Question:
Does this come with with the cheese curler?
Answer: This cheese does not come with curler. -
Question:
What is the weight of a curl? I need to know how many curls a wheel can make to determine serving size.
Answer: The curls are paper thin and don’t weigh much. I would estimate 200 to 250 curls per 1.8 lbs. This cheese is very flavorful and a little goes a long way. Hopefully you find this helpful. -
Question:
Does this product need to be refrigerated? Is it vacuum sealed?
Answer: The Tete de Moine aka known as Monk's Head was delicious! It came vacuum sealed and needed to be refrigerated. It took us quite a while to finish it (I didn't realize how much 1.8 pound is...) So if you get this size make sure you have get-togethers planned so your family and friends can help you enjoy this treat! -
Question:
Product is flawed
Answer: No -
Question:
How do you take the rind off the cheese?
Answer: The cheese can be sliced in two, by removing the top, and then the rind can be removed by making a cut to a depth of 2cm all round. -
Question:
How is this cheese shipped? Is it kept properly insulated with ice packs?
Answer: This is perishable so we ship it with ice packs and ship it by Fedex Priority overnight so that it arrives next day usually before Noon. A full round is usually from 1.8 lbs to 2.1 lbs in weight. -
Question:
What is the average weight of an individual curl? How many curls can you get from one wheel?
Answer: They don't weigh much -- they are mostly air space. It depends how many turns of the girolle you make and how hard you press, how many you get from a wheel, but it is quite a few. I'm guessing about 30 per inch of wheel height. -
Question:
Does the cheese shaved come with it
Answer: No, you have to purchase the shaver separately. Without that you cannot produce the “florets” of cheese. Worth it, they are delicious.!!
Emmi Cheese & Charcuterie Gifts Editorial Review
This Tete de Moine cheese does not come with a cheese curler and needs to be refrigerated. The curls weigh very little, and it is estimated that 200-250 curls can be made from a 1.8lb wheel. The cheese can be sliced in half, and the rind can be removed by cutting 2cm all around. It is shipped using FedEx Priority overnight with ice packs. The cheese has received mixed reviews, with some customers expressing disappointment in its freshness, smell and the fact that it cracks when using a cheese curler. Others have praised its taste, with one Anglo-Swiss customer stating that it is a "lifesaver" and that sanitized cheese sold in US stores is "criminal".
