Tome des Bauges PDO (Protected Designation of Origin)
An authentic and typical local cheese, this Tome has inherited the assertive and rugged character of the Massif des Bauges, mounted between Savoy and Haute-Savoy, France. It differs from the others in its name, with only one “m”, whose origin comes from the Savoyard dialect “toma” which means “cheese made in the pastures”.
DESCRIPTION
The Tome des Bauges PDO is made in a round shape of 18 to 20 cm in diameter and 3 to 5 cm in thickness for an average weight of 1.2 kg. Under its gray, irregular rind, an ivory to yellow cheese, particularly supple and soft can be found. Its fruity aromas will delight cheese lovers.
AFFINAGE
