Tomme de Corse
A gourmet sheep cheese from Corsica. The pecurella sheep produces a creamy and strong aromatic milk that is used to make this cheese. The sheep graze on stony terrain where there are abundant scrubby “Maquis” bushes which are very fragrant. This gives the style and individual taste so typical of the island.
The Tomme de Corse cheese has a light mineral and nutty flavour running through with a herbal tang at the end. The paste become dry and crumbly during aging and reveals a soft, supple, creamy though strong flavor. Serve with bread and salad or fruit.
