Creamy Tomme du Piton – 200g
$89
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.

Mont D’or Marcel Petite – From 400g
$185Mont d’Or has been called the holy grail of French raw milk cheeses. This cheese typical of Haut Doubs can be easily recognized in its spruce wood container. It is held in place by a spruce bark strap. Mont d’Or is a soft-ripened cheese made of raw cow’s milk. A spoon is used to serve this cheese because it has a very creamy texture.This cheese has the distinctive feature of being very seasonal. It is produced from August 15th to March 15th and can be sold from September 10th to May 10th. This production calendar originated with the limitations of the climate. The Montbéliarde breed of cattle produces a significant amount of milk during the warm season, but not as much in the winter. In the winter when the cows consume hay, they do not produce enough milk for the manufacture of such large cheeses as Comté. Also, in the past, snowy roads meant that gathering milk was almost impossible. The farmers of the region therefore learned to work on a smaller scale during the winter. They made the most of the cold period to create a new, unique soft-ripened cheese, Mont d’Or. This one is very rare and sourced from one of the best cheesemonger, Marcel petite, which sells to a limited number of partners.
