Embark on a journey through the crisp alpine air with Caprica's Peak Tomme, a cheese where the spirited essence of the mountains meets the distinctive character of goat's milk. This semi-firm cheese is a celebration of the pastoral landscapes where nimble goats roam, offering a taste that's both invigorating and comforting.

Appearance: Caprica's Peak sports an inviting natural rind, often with a mottled, rustic appearance that hints at its earthy origins. The interior reveals a pale cream to light yellow hue, with a texture that's both dense and pliable, inviting one to explore its layers.

Taste: The initial tang of goat's milk gives way to a symphony of flavors—notes of fresh grass, hints of wild herbs, and a subtle minerality that speaks of the rugged terrains. The cheese matures to a balanced complexity, with a slight sharpness mellowed by a creamy finish.

Aroma: The scent is unmistakable, with the characteristic tanginess of goat milk complemented by earthy undertones, evoking the freshness of the mountain air.

Pairings: This Alpine style Tomme is a versatile companion. It pairs beautifully with a dry white wine or a light red, enhancing its flavors. For a sweeter contrast, try it with honey or fresh figs. On a cheese board, it stands out next to nuts, olives, and dried fruits. Its structure makes it perfect for melting into dishes or enjoying on its own.

Craftsmanship: Crafted with care, each wheel of Caprica's Peak reflects the artisanal touch, from milking to the meticulous aging process. This cheese is not just a product; it's a narrative of the goat's life, our alpine valley climate, and our dedication to traditional cheesemaking methods.

Sustainability: By choosing our Caprica's Peak made with authentic Alpine goat milk, you're not only savoring a piece of the Alps but also supporting sustainable farming practices that respect the land and the animals.

Experience the wild, untamed essence of the mountains with every bite of Caprica's Peak, where the goat's spirited nature is captured in a cheese that is both robust and nuanced.
