Tomme de Savoie (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is an upland[1] variety of tomme cheese, specifically, one from Savoy in the French Alps. It is a mild, semi-firm cow's milk cheese with a beige interior and a thick brownish-grey rind. Tomme de Savoie dates back to ancient history.[2]

Tomme de Savoie, like most tommes, is usually made from the skimmed milk left over after the cream is used to make butter or richer cheeses. As a result, the cheese has a relatively low fat content (between 20 and 45%). The cheese is made year-round, and typically has a slightly different character depending on whether the cows are fed on winter hay or summer grass.

The cheese normally comes in discs approximately Script error: No such module "convert". across, Script error: No such module "convert". in thickness, and weighing between Script error: No such module "convert"..
