The Savoie region on the eastern border with Switzerland is well known for Tomme-style cheeses. The word tomme referes simply to a wheel of cheese. There are many tomme in the world, also spelled tome, toma, or tuma. Usually, the rest of the name included the village or region in which the cheese is made as in Tomme de Savoie. It is aged to exhibit a natural fuzzy, gray-brown rind that is inedible. The interior is a buttery color with many small eyes or holes. The flavor is nutty, earthy, and sometimes grassy. As a simple, rustic cheese it certainly holds its own. Product Metrics: | Country: France | | Region: Savoie | | Milk: Cow | |
