Tomme de Savoie Schmidhauser

Item #: 7953

Tomme means smallish, roundish farmstead cheese, and is usually combined with the region or town of origin. In this case, you're munching a raw, cows milk wheel from France's mountainous eastern region of Savoie in the Rhone Alpes. It has been lightly pressed for a semi-soft texture and aged from 2-4 months. Tommes are traditionally lower in fat because, after the collection of milk, the farmers take the cream for butter, leaving the remaining skimmed milk for the cheese. That is why it is low in fat content, about 20-40%. Expect some tang, along with strong wet straw and either vegetal or dried fruit aromas depending on seasonal Alpine grazing conditions. Enjoy with Crozes Hermitage.
