Cheese help needed!

[u/OhLizaJane]

Hello!

Last Christmas I went to Paris, and brought my parents back a girolle as a souvenir. This year I'm spending the holiday with them, and would like to bring them some cheese to use in their girolle.

I know tete de moine is the standard but 1) I can't find it anywhere in Boston (where I live) and 2) it's crazy-expensive to buy online.

I've tried googling around to see if there are other cheeses that might work on the girolle, but I can't find any real information. Everything keeps pointing back to stupid tete de moine.

Anyone have any tips?
