Brejo da Gaia Soft Goat's Milk Tomme, Sliced to Order

This is a soft-paste goat's milk tomme from Brejo da Gaia, a farmhouse dairy in Tramagal, Ribatejo, cut to order at our counter. Buying by the slice lets you take just what you need, fresh from the wheel.

Flavour and texture

A tomme is a larger wheel, so the slices offer more paste and less rind. This one stays supple and creamy, with a mild, gently tangy goat's milk taste and a rounder note near the rind.

Food pairing

Serve it with bread and honey, melt it in a toasted sandwich, or add it to a board with presunto and olives. A Vinho Verde Alvarinho, a Tejo white or a light Lisboa red all work.

About Brejo da Gaia
