Tome de Chalosse
The Aquitaine region, where Tome de Chalosse is made, is known for its beautiful
Cote d'Argent, superior oysters, and that most powerful and intelligent of
twelfth century women, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Queen consort of two countries. The
Aquitaine is also one of France's gastronomic centers where one can find
Armagnac brandy, foie gras, Sauternes and other Bordeaux wines, and sumptuous
pots of cassoulet.
This sticky,
washed-rind cow milk cheese is aged for four months, during which time it
develops a pungent semi-soft texture and a deep, nutty flavor.
