Tommette de brebis
In Menthonnex-sous-Clermont, in Haute-Savoie, the Magnaval couple’s organic Ferme Bêêle Nature produces a Tommette de brebis that combines tradition with care for the environment. Organic sheep farmers, they turn their ewes’ raw milk into an artisan, farmhouse cheese that we simply love.
A small tomme weighing around 600g, with a yellowish, crackled rind just like an authentic Tomme de Savoie, showing a lovely granite-like hue. Beneath this rustic coat, the ivory-white paste, dotted with small openings, offers a melting, generous texture. On the palate, it reveals milky, mild flavours when young, developing notes of hazelnut and hay with a mineral touch after ageing.
Made in keeping with traditional methods and organic farming principles, this tommette invites you to rediscover the true taste of mountain cheeses, where every bite tells the story of an unspoilt terroir. A simple, flavourful, and authentic cheese.
