Tomme style - NEC recipe

[Dorchestercheese]

This turned out to taste great.
Was looking for a softer paste Tomme.  This has a texture of a Gouda. Any idea of a Tomme with a similar look but smoother texture like almost brie texture?

I can't help cause I'm new to this, but that is one beautiful cheese! AC4U!

A cheese for you, I would eat that all day

Are you wanting something with higher moisture content or something that surface ripens like brie? If you just want more moisture content then cut a little larger and stir/heat a little less.

What a great looking cheese.  I wish we could taste it and not only see it.
AC4U!

[Dorchestercheese]

Thanks all.
River I'll try everything not sure if it's moisture or fat.  Need to find it again at the store.

Gorgeous rind on that! AC4U!

Fantastic looking cheese!
Smoother texture like Brie >>> gooey?
If you want softer paste then opt for St Nectaire, the rind has similar look and the paste is softer similar to Reblochon.

thanks AnnDee - I made a St. Nectaire a couple weeks back so lets see how it turns out.  Though I've seen very little white fuzz.

Make sure you have some yeast action going. St Nectaire I made doesn't have white fuzz too, more dry white and grey rind.

I made a St Nectaire recently.  Liked it a lot....reminded me a lot of a Reblochon....but easier to make.

[Dorchestercheese]

Hmm mine seems less yeasty bit dry mold white .. I'll move it closer to the moisture source.

Not entirely sure what you're trying to achieve, but I've had some success with my Gooey & Sinful Reblochons. A smaller, lower form factor permits the paste to ripen in a reasonable period of affinage.

I think I may have sent AC4U in the past for those Relochons, but you deserve another one now....those are just awesome.

Thanks for the cheese. Gotta love those Rebs!
