Tomme Corse is a rustic sheep and goat's milk cheese from the island of Corsica, pressed into small semi-hard wheels and aged under a natural, dusty rind. The paste is firm and creamy at once, pale straw in color, breaking into dense flakes under the knife with a slight give as it comes to room temperature.
On the palate it leads with toasted hazelnut and browned butter, then pulls into a grassy, slightly tangy middle that reflects the maquis, the tangle of rosemary, thyme, and wild herbs that flavor the pastures the animals graze on. The finish is savory and dry, with a mild peppery lift and a mushroomy earthiness pulled from the cellar-aged rind.
This is old-school Corsican farmhouse cheese, the kind of wheel you'd find sitting on a wooden board in a mountain village, sliced thin over a piece of rustic bread with a glass of local red. What sets it apart is the balance, the sheep-milk richness kept in check by the lactic tang of the goat's milk and the herbal pull of the terroir. A really honest expression of the island.

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.
