Boska’s Cheese Curler or Girolle: Traditionally called a “tete de moine” or monk’s head, the curler is designed with a round wooden base with a pointed spike. A round hard flat-topped cheese (hence the reference to a shaved monk’s head) is centered on the spike and pressed down onto the wooden base. A sharp knife with a metal loop at the end is placed on the spike and slide down to rest on the cheese. The knife is then slowly rotated cutting a long thin ribbon of cheese. The result is a beautiful ruffled rose made entirely of cheese! Stunning and tasty. One can only say thanks to Boska Holland for crafting these innovative cheese tools that continues his family's great culinary commitment.
