We received this beautiful cow’s milk tome from Corsican Cellars earlier this month and this weekend it is at the perfect ripeness to enjoy. Made from raw cow’s milk in a high alpine valley in Northern Italy, the Toma di Gressoney is first aged in damp cellars on oak boards, then moved to a dryer cave, which yeilds a finished rind that is a mildly pungent and earthy . This particular toma has aged for about 5 months. Yummy!
