Creamy Tomme du Piton – 150g
$67
Tomme de Savoie cheese is the dean of Savoyard cheeses. Easily recognizable by its spotted and floral grey rind, it will seduce you with its aromatic paste, its frank flavour, and its sweet and fruity aromas. Tomme de Savoie is the only French cheese to be declined in different levels of fat content: 20% to 45%. Far from the current enthusiasm for diet products, this specificity of Tomme de Savoie dates back to its origins, when peasants used to make it with the skimmed milk leftovers of the butter production!
Very small production from the Lorette Farm on the Beauregard plateau, this farm tomme is almost similar to Saint Nectaire. Aged by the Bouchet cheesemaker, it is soft, and it is a pleasure for every day.

Valencay – 220g
$129Valençay cheese is one of the classic French cheeses made in the province of Berry in central France. It is named after the town of Valençay in the Indre department, France.
This cheese comes in two types: the one coated with wood ash and produced on farms is called Valençay Fermier while the other coated with vegetable ash and made in dairies or industries is called Valençay Laitier.
Valençay is an unpasteurised goats-milk cheese. Its rind has a rustic blue-grey colour which is made of the natural moulds. The rind is then darkened by dusting charcoal powder. It is available usually between March and December, with peak manufacture between April and August.
Valençay cheese used to have a shape of a perfect pyramid with a pointed top. But when Napoleon returned to the castle of Valencay after his unsuccessful expedition in Egypt, he saw the cheese, in a fit of rage drew his sword and cut off the top of the cheese. Since then the cheese has always been made with a flattened top.
