Tomme de Savoie Fermière – A Rustic Alpine Classic
Tomme de Savoie Fermière is a perfect example of traditional French cheesemaking, crafted using methods passed down through generations. This farmhouse cheese hails from the French Alps and beautifully reflects the region’s rich history and natural beauty. It is wrapped in a unique, mottled rind, which contributes to its rustic appearance and charm. Beneath this rind, the cheese has a rich, fudgy texture that melts wonderfully on the palate, offering a sensory experience that is both comforting and complex.
The flavor of Tomme de Savoie Fermière is earthy, multifaceted, and deeply connected to its mountainous origins. The first taste recalls the damp forest floors, roasted nuts, and cellar-aged cream typical of the French Alps. This combination of flavors brings a deep and sophisticated character to the cheese, enhanced by the traditional methods used in its production. Additionally, the careful maturing process, which occurs in the cool, mountain cellars of the Savoie region, contributes to the complexity and richness of the flavor.
As the cheese matures, it develops a beautifully balanced taste. The moment you open the wheel, the deep, woodland aroma fills the air, offering a preview of the experience awaiting. With each bite, you’ll notice a delicate tang that perfectly contrasts the lingering savory finish, leaving a lasting impression. This cheese not only captures the essence of its terroir but also exemplifies the art of traditional cheesemaking. Therefore, it is a true delight for anyone who appreciates rich, complex flavours, making it a must-try for any cheese connoisseur.
