Tome des Bauges is a pressed cow's milk cheese from Savoie, in France. The single m in Tome follows an old local spelling, and it marks this cheese apart from Tomme de Savoie. Wheels are flat and modest, with a thick gray rind that can look uneven and lightly mottled. The paste is ivory to pale yellow, supple, and able to soften with heat while it still holds a slice. Herds in the Bauges uplands supply the milk, and the flavor is milky, nutty, and lightly fruity.
