We always have a tumbler of bold French wine at the ready when we unwrap this buttery, earthy Tomme de Savoie. The French cheese features a russet-hued rind and a semisoft, slightly nutty interior. Mightily approachable, it doesn't dominate the palate once it's gone" making it all the easier to move onto the next cheese.

Here's what you get:

  • 1/2 lb of Tomme de Savoie cheese

The Skinny on Tomme

“Tomme” is a type of French cheese that may land on your cheeseboard in many guises. It may be raw or pasteurized, made from whole milk or skim. Murray’s suggests looking for a knobby, russet-colored round of cheese. Its paste should be “toothsome and sticky.” This tomme meets those standards, and then some. Velvety on the tongue, it has an aroma of wet straw—more appealing than it might sound. Tomme de Savoie hails from the Rhone-Alps region of France, and is surprisingly springy and approachable. Bold red wines from that part of the world make a fine pairing.
