Tomme d'Aydius

France, Pyrénées

A relatively new cheese from the Valley d’Aspe close to the snowline of the Bearn mountains that straddle the frontier to Spain. A wild and rocky terrain allows the animals to graze freely enjoying the pastures and the flora of the region. The smooth semi-hard cheese has a lovely pale rosy hue to the brine rubbed crust and tastes sweetly earthy and nutty with delicious tones of wild flowers and herbs. The best season is between March to November, although the cheese is available throughout the year at varying ages of maturity.
