#8 Milawa Tomme

This was my pick of the platter deserving a 4 out of 5 kraft singles for quality (someone told me I should numerically rate the cheeses - we'll see if it works).
Tomme was the darkest cheese on our Australia Day Platter reflecting a
decent bit of ageing. Tomme was a little
pungent, but pleasantly so. Overall, it was a semi-hard slice of salty, goaty, goodness.

Tomme is an Alpine cheese style from France and Switzerland. Through forensic internet research I have now established that this cheese was in fact the inspiration for early 80s dance band (and Talking Heads spinoff)  "The Tom Tom Club".
Unfortunately EU "designation of origin" regulations required the band to shorten their original name (the Tomme Tomme Club), remove all published references and create a fictional "origin story" on their Wikipedia entry.
If you listen very hard to the Tomme Tomme Club's hit Genius of Love you can hear a number of cunningly, veiled references to this very fine goats milk cheese.
