Tête de Moine Interprofessional Organisation
The Tête de Moine Interprofessional Organisation plays a crucial role in supporting the producers of Tête de Moine cheese, particularly in the Jura region. This organization is dedicated to maintaining the high standards required for the production of this renowned cheese.
Production Challenges
Producers in the Jura are currently facing significant challenges related to cattle feeding. According to Martin Siegenthaler from the Tête de Moine Interprofessional Organisation, some farmers have already started using hay that was originally intended for the colder months. This situation underscores the difficulties in managing feed supplies in the region.
The production of Tête de Moine AOP cheese imposes specific constraints on the feeding of cattle. The rules for this product do not allow the use of silage, including wrapped bales. Therefore, the dry feed provided to the cattle must adhere strictly to these specifications to ensure the quality and authenticity of the cheese.
