Goat Tomme
November 5th, 2008 | by tb |
The third cheese I bought at Saxelby’s was Goat Tomme made by Twig Farm in West Cornwall, Vermont. The cheesemonger at the counter highly recommended this cheese and I can’t thank her enough!
It’s a raw goat’s milk cheese, aged 80 days, that has a thickish, natural rind. Goat Tomme has a semi-hard interior with a rich texture considering its firmness. The taste is earthy and grassy with a lingering traditional goat’s milk taste (tangy, fresh, slight saltiness).
Overall, this cheese was fantastic. It was the complete package for an aged goat’s milk cheese. The texture and taste were well balanced. I’ll definitely be getting some more of this now that I know Twig Farm ships!
