Then head over to Artisanal cheese for Tourmalet.
What is Tourmalet?
It is a cylinder of raw sheep's milk cheese crafted in the Pyrenees, you might recognize the shape of the cheese from its well-known, more popular distant cousin, Petit Basque. But Tourmalet dials things up a notch -- an elegant blend of flavor nuances that will make anyone fall in love with this fantastic Pyrénées cheese. It is nutty and firm yet silky and buttery with a rustic, farmsteady, meaty twang. It's got herbaceous grassy notes with a round fullness -- best with some age on it. Great with a medium bodied white wine.
And, why is Tourmalet a splurge?
Well because each cylinder is $54 which surely is a nice chunk of change to spend on a cheese.
