Tomme de Crayeuse is a semi-soft French cow's milk cheese from the Savoie region, created in 1995 by Max Schmidhauser. It features a unique two-stage aging process that gives it a soft, creamy paste near the natural, chalky-looking rind, while the center remains slightly firmer. The cheese has a mushroomy, earthy flavor with notes of butter and a pleasant tartness.
