Tomme Crayeuse 5.5 lb

Special order. 2 week lead time.

Crayeuse, meaning “Chalky,” is an integral characteristic of this raw cow’s milk cheese from Savoie. The cheese is set to age in a warm, moist cave that speeds ripening, developing a thick, creamy outer layer. When moved to a cooler cave, ripening slows, leaving an interior dense and chalky. The flavor is complex: lactic, mushroomy, and earthy blending into an elevated essence of buttered toast.
