Tomme de chèvre de Savoie

Tomme de chèvre is a traditional cheese hailing from Savoie. The cheese is made from raw goat's milk. Underneath its bloomy rind, the texture is creamy, pliable, and smooth. The aromas are pungent, barnyardy, earthy, and goaty, while the flavor is fruity, sweet, citrusy, and nutty on the finish.


Tomme de chèvre ages for 7 weeks before it's ready for consumption. It's especially good when paired with bread and potatoes, but it can also be melted like a raclette. Regarding wine, pair it with white Savoie wines such as Chignin, Apremont, or Roussette.


This mountain cheese was invented in the 17th century.
