How to place TÊTE DE MOINE onto the «Girolle®»?

First, cut the whole TÊTE DE MOINE in half. One half may be stored in the fridge. Place the cut side on a clean and plane surface. Then push the spike of the «Girolle®» held upside down through the centre of the cheese. Make sure you hold the «Girolle®» base horizontally. Turn the «Girolle®» the right way round and press the cheese firmly down onto the steel blades of the wooden base so that it cannot rotate on the «Girolle®», but sits on the base.

You will soon discover that the mounting procedure is far easier to do than to describe. Avoid pressing down too hard on the cheese when you rotate the blade. While being pared the rind of the TÊTE DE MOINE crumbles and falls onto the base of the «Girolle®». However, it can also be removed from around the sides of the cheese with a vegetable peeler.
