Tominette
The Tominette is made by the Orthodox monks of the Saint-Nicolas de la Dalmerie monastery in the Hérault. Their artisan approach and their faithfulness to traditional methods guarantee a cheese of rare quality and authenticity.
This ewe’s milk cheese comes in a generous round shape, with a natural rind lightly dusted with bloom. Its dense paste, which melts in the mouth, is flavoured with essence of thyme, lending it sunlit aromas typical of the South, with notes of rosemary, at once mild and fresh. Young, it stands out for its finesse, but longer ageing — made possible by its substantial size — reveals a wilder character. A cheese that brings together tradition, terroir, and monastic craftsmanship.
