The rich tradition of the French Alps
Tomme de Savoie is one of the oldest and most beloved cheeses from the French Alps. This cheese has been made traditionally for centuries in the mountainous Savoie region. Characteristic of the Tomme is that it is traditionally prepared from the skimmed milk that was left over after skimming the milk for butter. As a result, the cheese has a relatively low fat content (30+), but thanks to the raw, unpasteurized cow's milk, it absolutely does not compromise on the depth of flavor.
The cheese is immediately recognizable by its thick, gray and somewhat robust natural rind, which is formed during the months-long ripening process in damp cellars. Beneath this tough exterior hides a supple, ivory-colored dairy with small eyes. The taste is a beautiful reflection of the Alpine climate: full, earthy, slightly nutty and with a subtle fruity undertone. Tomme de Savoie is an indispensable addition to a classic cheese board, perfect with a crusty piece of baguette or delicious to melt in traditional regional dishes.

This way you are guaranteed to bring absolute top quality and freshness into your home.
Frequently Asked Questions about Tomme de Savoie
Can I eat the gray rind of the Tomme de Savoie?
Although the rind is naturally formed in the ripening cellars, we do not recommend eating it. The rind is very thick and has a fairly strong, earthy taste that can overshadow the refined taste of the cheese itself. So, cut the rind away neatly before consumption.
Is this cheese suitable for pregnant women?
No. Because Tomme de Savoie is an authentic mountain cheese prepared with raw (unpasteurized) cow's milk, it is strongly advised against consuming this cheese during pregnancy as a precaution.
What is the best way to store and serve this cheese?
Store the cheese in the refrigerator, preferably in the supplied cheese paper. Remove the Tomme de Savoie from the refrigerator about 45 minutes before serving. At room temperature, the nutty and earthy aromas come into their own best.
Do you also sell other French cheeses?
Yes, certainly! In addition to Tomme de Savoie, we have a beautiful assortment of other French specialties, such as Roquefort, Camembert and Brie. View our complete category French cheese to discover all our flavorful variants.
