Tomme-style wheels are considered simple table cheeses, but beneath Cumberland Tomme’s rustic exterior lies a compellingly complex flavor. Three months of aging creates the mottled rind, encasing a semi-firm, sunny yellow paste. A slight funk gives way to the wheel’s buttermilk tang and sweet grassiness. Play up the earthy notes with a slice of Charlito’s Cocina’s Campo Seco. Or bring some fruitiness to every bite with V Smiley’s Strawberry Italian Plum Rosewater Jam.
