It is said that there are as many different tommes in the Alps as there are valleys. ... Traditionally these cheeses are made at the same time as the larger Alpine cheeses such as Beaufort, using the milk left when all the big cheeses are made. ... this cheese is a lowfat (20 percent) cheese that tastes great. Supple, smooth, good on a cheeseboard, in a sandwich, coupled with a light red wine such as a Cotes de Beaune, or used in many recipes that call for swiss cheese.

OBS
