Tomme, meaning small wheel, and chèvre, meaning goat can be confusing in France as there are Tomme de Chèvres from several regions!
This aged wheel of goat cheese truly epitomizes an authentic Tomme de Chèvre from the Vallée d'Aspe, a great valley in the Pyrénées mountains.
Small production results in exceptional, complex flavor.
Not gamey but with lots of nuances: fruity, tangy, and a little salty.
It finishes with a wonderful caramelized nuttiness that makes you reach back for more.
The texture is firm and flaky so it shaves very well, but is not too hard to be a table cheese.
