For 100g of mountain tomme:
Tomme de montagne is a traditional cheese that originated in the mountainous regions of France and Switzerland. This cheese is distinguished by its soft texture, rustic flavor, and subtle nutty aromas, which are influenced by the herbs and pastures where herds of cows, goats, or sheep graze. Among the best-known tommes are Tomme de Savoie, Tomme des Pyrénées, and Tomme de l’Aubrac. Each of these varieties reflects the specific terroir of its region of origin through nuances in flavor and texture.
In the kitchen, mountain tomme stands out for its versatility. Melting when heated, it is ideal for gratins, fondues, or raclettes. At room temperature, it can be enjoyed simply sliced on toast, in a salad, or paired with a glass of wine. Its delicate aromas add an authentic and warm touch to dishes, making it a cheese particularly appreciated in rustic cuisine as well as in more elaborate culinary creations.
