Sheep's tomme cheese is part of the family of sheep cheeses with uncooked pressed paste. Its texture is soft and rather homogeneous. During the tasting, it is a cheese that reveals itself as melting and surprisingly light, very pleasant in the mouth. Molded, pressed, and dried, Sheep's Tomme cheese develops its characteristic flavors during a ripening period that can last up to two months in a humid cellar.
Its smell of sheep's milk allows all the flavors that accompany its tasting to be expressed. Sheep's tomme cheese presents soft tones, typical of the flavors generally found in sheep's milk cheeses. A cheese that is both sweet and tangy, its intensity can be described as medium. Its bloomy rind is soft, gray in color, sometimes tending towards orange-yellow.
The tasting takes place throughout the year. Sheep's tomme cheese originally aimed to resemble the legendary Saint-Nectaire, hence the appearance of its bloomy rind. However, the formats are not the same.
Sheep's tomme cheese pairs wonderfully with black cherry jam. It can also be enjoyed prepared in verrines, integrated into cold appetizers, or accompanied, for example, by country ham. This cheese will pair well with both a full-bodied red wine and a dry white wine.
