Smoked Tommette de Vache Agour
Smoked Tommette de Vache Agour
Description
Made by Fromagerie Agour in the French Basque Country, this traditional cow's milk Tommette is gently cold-smoked over beechwood, creating a beautifully balanced cheese that celebrates both the quality of the milk and the artistry of traditional smoking.
Beneath its natural rind lies a smooth, supple paste with a creamy texture and delicate ivory colour. The gentle smoking enhances the cheese's natural buttery sweetness, adding subtle notes of toasted hazelnuts, warm wood smoke and a savoury finish without overpowering its rich dairy character.
Wonderfully versatile, this cheese is equally at home on a cheeseboard, melted into rustic dishes or enjoyed simply with fresh bread and charcuterie.
