This is a goat's milk tomme from Aquitaine in southwestern France, a pressed semi-soft wheel with a natural rind and a quietly elegant personality. Goat tommes from this corner of France tend to lean gentle rather than barnyardy, and this one sits right in that sweet spot.
The paste is pale ivory, close-grained and supple, giving evenly under the knife with a clean break. On the palate it opens with a soft lactic tang, the kind of fresh-cream brightness goat milk does so well, then pulls into a mellow hazelnut and brown-butter middle as the pressed paste shows its age. The natural rind adds a quiet mineral note underneath, more cellar stone than mushroom.
Just because it's mild doesn't mean it's not flavorful. This is a goat cheese for people who think they don't like goat cheese, and a familiar pleasure for those who already do.
Semi-soft and supple, the paste gives gently under the knife with a clean even break, holding a fine close grain rather than chalky or crumbly.
Mellow goat character up front with a soft lactic tang, then a quiet nutty pull through the middle. Approachable, not a barnyardy goat.
A mid-length finish that settles into a gentle goaty sweetness and lingers softly for a few beats after the swallow.
A clean fresh-cream tang sits on the front of the palate, the milky note you expect from a younger goat tomme without any sour edge.
A soft hazelnut and brown-butter note builds through the middle of the bite, the kind of quiet nuttiness a pressed goat tomme picks up with a few months on the shelf.
A whisper of cellar and damp stone off the natural rind, more clean and mineral than mushroomy.
No heat or piquancy, the finish stays gentle and rounded.
Natural rind
Tomme de Chèvre stands on its own, but the right partners turn a wedge into a moment. Regional pairings first — they were built for each other.

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.
