Tomme Daubée is a very traditional preparation from the Rhone Valley and Dauphiné region, where Alex is from. This dish has been made in his family for a very long time, and its ingredients differ from the traditional canuts dish. It’s an easy cold preparation to make and the perfect dip for summer if people want to recreate it at home. For the Bon Fromage Festival, Alex will present a unique recipe for Tomme Daubée, featuring a special crème fraîche prepared with Brillat-Savarin.
