Cheese is the concentrated and easily digestible form of milk. 1 kg of TÊTE DE MOINE
requires over 10 litres of milk. TÊTE DE MOINE, therefore, contains a lot of vital nutrients
in large amounts. Cheese is a real champion supplier of calcium and proteins, it contains
more proteins than meat or fish.
The most important minerals in cheese are calcium and, in particular, magnesium. Cheese
also provides vitamins, like vitamin A and some of the vitamin B group. |

TÊTE DE MOINE is said to contain 51% of fat, but this value refers to the fat content in dry
matter (FIDM). Dry matter is the absolute weight of the cheese minus the weight of
the water. Since cheese contains a large amount of water, the weight of FIDM does not
correspond to the absolute fat content. The value is used to express the texture
of the cheese body. The following table shows that TÊTE DE MOINE is composed of roughly
1/3 of water, fat and proteins.
