The origin of the Italian Toma Piemontese, a gourmet cheese from Italy's Piedmont region, dates back to Roman times. Toma Piemontese can be made in the plains or the mountains, from the milk of several races of cows. The milk may be whole or partly skimmed, raw or pasteurized.

Our Toma Piemontese is made of whole pasteurized cow's milk and has a semi-soft to firm paste, and a smooth and supple, pale yellow to brownish rind. The cheese is aged for 90 days and developed a sweet creamy full flavor and pleasant and the smell is delicate. The rind is natural and rustic and accrues mold. A lovely Italian gourmet cheese and typical of the Piedmont's traditional cheeses.

We cut and wrap this cheese in wedges of 1 pound and 8 ounces.
