Tomme Style

TomaRashi

Made by Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co · Point Reyes, CA, USA

Tomme de Crayeuse is a relatively modern cheese, created in the 1990s by affineur Max Schmidhauser in the Savoie region of France. It was designed as a softer, more expressive alternative to traditional Tomme de Savoie. The name Crayeuse translates to chalky, referencing the distinctive texture at the center of the cheese when young. As it matures, the paste transitions from chalky to supple, while the natural rind develops a gray brown, suede like surface. The flavor profile remains gentle and earthy throughout aging, with notes of damp cellar and mushrooms lifted by a subtle lemony brightness that keeps the cheese fresh and approachable. Customer Type: Tomme lovers, mushroom forward palates, fans of rustic French cheeses. How to sell it in one sentence: “A gentle, earthy tomme with a chalky center, mushroom notes, and a clean lemony finish.”
