{"product_id":"chabert-tomme-crayeuse","title":"Chabert Tomme Crayeuse","description":"\u003cp\u003eTomme Crayeuse is a semi-soft cow's milk cheese from Savoie, in the French Alps, developed in 1995 by affineur Max Schmidhauser as a modern take on the old Tomme de Savoie recipe. What makes it special is the two-stage aging: a stint in a cool, damp cellar to build the chalky natural rind, then a move to a warmer cave so the paste softens from the outside in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut a wedge and you can see exactly what that does. There's a creamy, almost melting band right under the rind, then a firmer, slightly chalky core in the middle. The paste is buttery and mushroomy with a clean lactic tartness on the front of the tongue, and the rind brings a real forest-floor character without any of the funk you'd get from a washed rind. It eats gentle but it's not a shy cheese, plenty going on between the cream line and the center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe natural rind, dusty grey-white and very alpine-looking, is edible and worth eating, that's where most of the earthy depth lives. A great cheese for someone who likes a Tomme de Savoie but wants something a little softer and a little more expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World's Best Cheese West","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45731075391657,"sku":"12574","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/6027\/8185\/files\/TommedeSavoie_be23d88d-e75a-4ca3-8ffa-7e6288cef3da.jpg?v=1763395147","url":"https:\/\/cheesestore.com\/products\/chabert-tomme-crayeuse","provider":"The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills | Domenico's Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
