Description
This cheese comes in circular forms with flat or semi-flat faces and a diameter of between 15- 35 cm and a circumference height ranging from 6 - 12 cm ; consequently, even the weight of each whole cheese is extremely variable and ranges from 1.8 kg to 8 kg . The gustatory characteristics of Toma Piemontese depend on whether it has been produced traditionally with whole milk, or if it is of the semi-fat version with skimmed milk.

In the first case, the rind is elastic and smooth and its colour goes from deep straw-yellow to reddish brown according to its seasoning, whereas the cheese itself is straw-yellow with tiny well-distributed eyes; its flavour is sweet and agreeable, with a delicate fragrance. In the semi-fat version, the rind is not very elastic and has a rough aspect, its colour ranges from deep straw-yellow to reddish brown, the cheese itself is straw white with tiny eyes and its flavour is intense and harmonic, and a fragrance that becomes more characteristic with seasoning.
