A pressed goat's milk tomme from Onetik, a cooperative dairy in the French Basque country working with milk from local herds. Pasteurized, wheel-formed, and aged a couple of months on wooden boards, which is where the rustic grey natural rind and the woodsy, cellar-cool character come from.
The paste is semi-soft and supple, gives just slightly under the knife, and turns creamy against the palate rather than crumbling. Flavor sits on the gentle side of the goat spectrum, more fresh cream and quiet lactic tang than sharp chèvre, with a soft browned-butter note through the middle and a mushroomy pull from the rind on the finish. Just because it's mild doesn't mean it's not flavorful, right?
A nice entry point into pressed goat's milk cheeses for anyone who thinks chèvre only comes in a log. Cut a little something like that, let it sit at room temperature for a bit, and the paste really opens up.
Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
