Cheese Maker Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company is a family-owned operation founded in 2000 on their fourth-generation dairy farm in Marin County, California. They're renowned for their commitment to sustainable farming practices and for being one of the few American producers to master the art of washed-rind cheeses using their own herd's milk.

Cheese Toma is Point Reyes' signature semi-soft cheese. It’s mild and meltable, which is why we always suggest you melt it on everything! It’s young and styled after an Italian

Tasting Notes The cheese opens with savory, bacon-like aromas from its washed rind, leading to a complex flavor profile of roasted nuts, caramelized onions, and a subtle funk that's more approachable than traditional European washed rinds. The texture is smooth and yielding with a pleasant granular finish and a lingering umami richness.

Pairing Suggestions Pair with hoppy West Coast IPAs or robust red wines like Zinfandel to match its bold, savory character, alongside sourdough bread and pickled vegetables. For a unique try it with a little creamy goat caramel.

Try making some smashed potatoes and melting this cheese on top. Here’s a recipe.
