Toma di Lanzo

Toma di Lanzo is a product of Piedmont made from semi-skimmed raw milk. The rind is relatively soft, elastic, thin, a straw-yellow colour, which darkens with ripening. The cheese is soft, elastic, a light straw-yellow colour, with fine-sized evenly distributed holes. Toma is generally eaten in its pure form, but can also be used to make the typical Fondue of Piedmont. It is a popular ingredient for first courses such as risottos, soups and other cheese-based recipes.
