The origins of the term Toma are uncertain to this day; years of studies have unfortunately not shed light on this unique cheese. The term Toma is widespread overall in Northern Italy, to be more specific in Piemonte and in Val d’Aosta. It is however possible to find it in Sicily, where around the XII-XIII century it was imported from some Piemontese colonies. Tomino literally means “small toma” (toma in English means promise), but the only thing it has in common with the cheese Toma, is the region of origin, Piemonte, as the two cheese are completely different.
In this specific case, the Tomini are left to dry for a period of time, so that they can be left to mature in olive oil aromatized by adding laurel leaves.
