Le Maquis Jurassic
Maquis Jurassic from Savoie is a “Tomme blanche”, a fresh, unripened Tomme that immediately catches the eye. Coated in Provençal herbs and refined with 1% garlic, it is a harmoniously balanced speciality in both appearance and taste. Its mild, fresh and slightly milky profile forms the basis for a finely balanced interplay of flavours. Over time, the cheese gradually absorbs the essential oils and aromas of the herbs – a natural process that subtly ‘perfumes’ the loaf and gives it an unmistakable depth of flavour. The delicate, smooth texture of the Tomme is complemented by an edible rind, which should definitely be eaten as it contributes significantly to its full aroma. Maquis Jurassic is particularly good on a mixed cheese platter, with fresh country bread or accompanied by a white wine with a delicate herbal note.
