Capriole Old Kentucky Tomme Cheese Wheel, 5 lb

Handcrafted in the American heartland, Capriole Old Kentucky Tomme is a testament to the artistry of small-batch cheesemaking. This 5-pound wheel is made from pasteurized goat’s milk and aged to develop a rustic, bloomy rind of penicillium candidum, offering a unique expression of regional terroir. The cheese’s pale, ivory interior is dense yet yielding, with a subtle earthiness that reflects its careful aging and the richness of its source milk.

With its gentle, nutty aroma and a flavor profile that balances tangy brightness with savory depth, Old Kentucky Tomme is a versatile addition to any cheese board. The rind adds a delicate, mushroom-like note, while the paste reveals a creamy, slightly crumbly texture that melts beautifully on the palate. Whether sliced thin for a tasting platter or served alongside fresh fruit, toasted nuts, and crusty bread, this cheese invites exploration and conversation.

Capriole Old Kentucky Tomme shines when paired with crisp white wines, farmhouse ales, or a drizzle of honey. Its nuanced character makes it a favorite for gatherings, special occasions, or quiet evenings at home. For those seeking a distinctive American artisan cheese, this wheel offers a memorable sensory journey and a taste of time-honored craftsmanship.
