Tomme Vaudoise

The Tomme Vaudoise is a soft cheese from Switzerland . In the 17th century it was only made in summer in the alpine huts of the Jura . Due to its increasing popularity, however, the production area expanded rapidly, so that the Tomme Vaudoise is now produced throughout French-speaking Switzerland .

Tomme Vaudoise's cheeses are small with a diameter of 8 to 9 centimeters, a height of about 2.5 centimeters and a weight of only about 100 grams. Its delicate white crust is covered with a layer of fine white mold. The Tomme Vaudoise only ripens for 7 to 10 days, so that it comes on the market when it has just passed the threshold from cream to soft cheese. The cheese therefore has a creamy consistency and a delicate milk flavor.
