The word "Tomme" is simply a name given to a family of cheeses made in the French Alps and Switzerland. Tomme de Savoie is a lower fat cheese, made from the skim milk that is left after the cream has been removed to make butter. But don't be mistaken, this cheese is still packed to the brim with flavour! The milk comes from local cows, grazing on hay in the winter and grass during the summer months.

Pair with a Pinot Grigio.
