Tomme de Savoie (8 ounces) by Gourmet-Food.com Feature
- Imported from France
- Cow's Milk
- Firm Texture
Tomme de Savoie is an excellent example of the many French 'Tomme' cheeses. It is made in the Savoie region and also in the Haute-Savoie near to the Swiss border. 'Tomme' means 'piece' and is a general word for semi-hard cheeses. Tomme de Savoie is made from raw cow's milk, it has a rustic appearance and a distinctive hard, powdery rind with spots varying in color from grey to grey white. The paste is pale ivoryto yellow in color, darkening at the rind, supple and with a few small holes scattered through it. The aroma is strongly grassy with ammonia, mushrooms, and caramel. The flavor is somewhat sweet with a fudge taste and a citrus tang; a fine example of French gourmet cheeses of the Savoie region. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedges of 8 ounces and 1 pound.
