Tomme aux Fleurs, Cow's milk, Alsace, France 0.5lb/Cut

This cheese contains a supple-to-firm paste with sweet milk, toasted hazelnut, meadow herbs, and delicate floral notes. The interior itself is relatively mild; a bite with the flower-covered rind gives much more perfume, herbal character, and complexity.

Tomme aux Fleurs is a striking French cow’s-milk cheese from Alsace, best known for its rind covered in colorful edible dried flowers. The Alsatian version is typically a farmstead, uncooked pressed cheese, and examples are made from raw cow’s milk and aged for several months. 

The flowers aren’t just decorative-they’re meant to be eaten with the rind. Depending on the producer, the coating can include cornflower, rose, mallow, marigold, safflower, strawberry leaf, hay, and other herbs. Their aromas gradually perfume the paste as the cheese ages.
