Point Reyes Toma
Point Reyes Toma comes from the Giacomini family at Point Reyes Farmstead in coastal Northern California, where the herd grazes on the pasture above Tomales Bay. It's a pasteurized cow's milk cheese, semi-hard with a thin natural rind, and it sits squarely in the everyday-eating category that this farm does really well.
The paste is smooth and pliable, pale ivory, and breaks into clean slabs under the knife with just a little give. On the palate it leads with sweet cream and fresh butter, the kind of lactic pull you expect from healthy California milk, and then a quiet grassy tang comes in on the back end from the coastal pasture. The finish is clean and short, no funk, no sharpness, just a mellow milky note that fades.
This is a versatile cheese, the kind of wheel you keep around. It melts beautifully, it slices clean for a sandwich, and it holds its own on a board next to bigger flavors. Approachable without being boring, and a nice introduction to American farmstead cheese.
