Tomme is a type of cheese that originates from the mountainous regions of France, particularly the Alps. It is typically made from cow's milk, although variations can include goat's or sheep's milk. Tomme cheeses are known for their semi-soft texture and earthy flavors, which can vary depending on the specific type and aging process. The most famous variety is Tomme de Savoie, which has a natural rind and a creamy interior. Tomme cheeses are often enjoyed on cheese boards, paired with bread, fruits, or wines, making them a popular choice for casual dining and gatherings.
