Tomme de Savoie

When read about a tomme cheese, your reading about a French cheese; a small and round cheese, usually with an earthy gray-brown rind.

Tomme de Savoie is made in the Savoie, a small French alpine region bordering both Italy and Switzerland. It's a raw milk cheese that has been lightly pressed for a semi-soft texture and aged from 2-4 months. The cheese has a rustic appearance and a distinctive powdery rind; it almost looks as if the cheese is dirty and has spots varying in color from grey to grey white. The inside is an ivory elastic paste with small eyes and the flavor is mild, citric, mushroomy.

We hand-cut and wrap Tomme de Savoie in wedges of 8 ounces and 1 pound and you can also purchase a wheel of approx. 4 pounds.
