#FrenchFromageFriday: Tomme Crayeuse

We’re skipping Black Friday this year to focus on our favorite kind of Friday: #FrenchFromageFriday 😍

We’re super excited to introduce another beautiful Tomme cheese: Tomme Crayeuse. If you remember from our last Tomme feature, the word means round or wheel, simply giving meaning to the shape of this cheese! Crayeuse (pronounced kray-ooz) translates to chalky.

This Tomme hails from the Haute Savoie region of France, using raw cows milk to create a buttery, mushroomy, toasty flavor. It’s aged in two separate caves to create its texture: at first in a warm, humid cave to create its gorgeous cream line and then moved to a cooler cave to create its signature craggy, chalky rind.

We love pairing this cheese with savory cornichons and whole grain mustard, maybe even some jambon. 😍

What do you think?! Would you try Tomme Crayeuse? You can find this cheese at Antonelli’s Cheese Shop in Austin, TX or sometimes at Central Market (also in Texas).
