Tomme de Vache Noir des Pyrénées is a classic semi-hard cow’s milk cheese, crafted in the Pyrénées region of southwestern France. Recognised under Protected Geographical Indication (PGI/IGP) status, this guarantees that the cheese is produced using traditional methods within the region, preserving its authentic taste and heritage.
Aged for a minimum of 21 days, this cheese develops a dense, smooth paste with a pale yellow hue, encased in its signature black wax or natural rind, which enhances both its appearance and ageing process. The flavour is buttery, nutty, and slightly earthy, with subtle sweet and grassy undertones that become more pronounced with age. Its texture is firm yet supple, making it easy to slice and melt.
Tomme de Vache Noir des Pyrénées is perfect for cheeseboards, sandwiches, or melting into gratins and fondues. It pairs beautifully with medium-bodied red wines from the Southwest of France, such as Madiran or Irouléguy, as well as crusty bread and cured meats.
