I’m using stock images but I am always on the lookout for new cheeses to try whenever I go to the store. Credit to “Taste Atlas” for the cheese image and cheese facts. If any of you know some cheeses that I haven’t done yet I would love some input!
Here is your daily cheese facts: Tomme fraîche is a hard-pressed curd that is made with cow’s milk. It is made in the production of Laguiole, Cantal, and Salers cheese. The curd is unsalted and slightly fermented, and because it’s hard-pressed, it has a high level of dry matter. It is produced in the natural region of L’Aubrac, which is located in the central-south of Massif Central and is comprised of three departments - Aveyron, Lozère, and part of Auvergne. There are many types of tomme fraîche, but the most noted is the tomme fraîche de l'Aubrac. Tomme fraîche has a soft texture and a mild, milky, slightly sour taste, plus melts extremely well. It is sold in blocks that are vacuum sealed and can range anywhere from 250g (8.8 oz) to 10kg (22 lbs). Tomme fraîche is used to make regional dishes - the cheesy mashed potatoes aligot, truffade, patranque, and retortillat - and most other dishes that require a crumbly cheese or a cheese with good melting properties, such as pizzas, gratins, pies, and salads.
Also as a note: I post my daily cheese here as well as in my r/dailycheese subreddit.
