Tomme de St Ours is a semi-hard French cheese made from cow’s milk, traditionally produced in the Pyrenean region. Offered in a 1.7kg wheel, this farmhouse-style tomme is known for its natural rind and rustic character, reflecting traditional mountain cheese-making practices.

Detailed Information

Produced using cow’s milk from high-altitude pastures, Tomme de St Ours is aged to develop a natural grey-brown rind speckled with molds, indicative of cellar maturation. The paste is firm yet supple, with small irregular eyes. Its flavor is mild and nutty, with grassy undertones and a clean finish that intensifies with age. The cheese’s rural origin and traditional production lend it an authentic character suited to regional cheese boards and culinary applications.
