Tomme des Croquants matured with Walnut Liqueur
Description
The Walnut Liqueur Tomme des Croquants is produced in the shape of a small ‘tomme’, 14cm in diameter, 5cm thick and 850 grams in weight. The moulds used in the moulding process give the cheeses their regular and concentric ridges. The maturing process takes place in humid and cool cellars (11°C). The cheeses are rubbed 3 times with a walnut liqueur produced by the Distillerie du Périgord de Sarlat, making it an authentic local speciality. The Walnut Liqueur Tomme des Croquants is characterised by its dark brown rind. The inside of this creamy coloured cheese is soft and smooth, with delicate hints of walnut, while the rind has stronger walnut flavours.
