French term or phrase: tomme lactique
4 à 6 semaines sont nécessaires pour développer à cœur l’ensemble des saveurs de cette tomme lactique.

I believe it has to do with a specific process but can't find the information. I would greatly appreciate your help :)

Explanation:
Ferments lactiques et présure, les deux clés de la coagulation laitière
Ferments lactiques et présure sont précisément les deux principales substances utilisées pour la coagulation, comme l’explique Franck Lehmann, directeur adjoint de l’ENILV (Ecole Nationale des Industrie du Lait et des Viandes), où les étudiants sont formés à la transformation fromagère. « Les ferments ou bactéries lactiques entraînent une acidification du lait qui forme alors un caillé dit lactique, à prise lente. La présure, issue de l’estomac des jeunes ruminants, provoque quant à elle une réaction dite enzymatique et une coagulation rapide. Les deux phénomènes, différents d’un point de vue chimique, donnent des caillés très différents. »

I have a suspicion (but you'll need to check) that it refers to curdling the cheese without the use of rennet ('présure', an animal product), hence making it suitable for vegetarians.

tangy-tasting Tomme cheese


Explanation:
It will depend how "saveur" is being used. If it basically means the tangy acidic taste, then it might make more sense to use a term or terms to describe that.

I think there should be a capital letter for "Tomme". It is a proper noun.

neutral  Tony M: 'tom(m)e' is a generic term for a style of cheese, it only becomes a proper noun when it is combined with a place name, such as 'Tome d'Aubrac' etc.

  -> Yes, thanks for the correction about the capital letter.

agree  B D Finch: That's how the cheesemonger at our local market explained it to me.
1 hr
  -> Thanks, B!

agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: I'd thought about using "lactic" but had shied away from it, probably for no decent reason.
2 hrs
  -> Thanks, Nikki! I agree, it doesn't sound very "public friendly", but without knowing the context of the document, it's hard to depart from what appears to be the dedicated technical term.

Tomme-style cheese


Explanation:
Another suggestion. If the translation is aimed at an audience of cheese connoisseurs, I would be inclined to keep the original French term. Otherwise, 'tomme-style cheese' would make it clear to a general audience what it is about.

"French cheese lovers tend to associate tomme-style cheese with its circular round shape, earthy gray-brown rind, and intensely nutty taste.

Cheeses belonging to this class adopt the name of their place of origin, the most famous being Tomme de Savoie from Savoie in the French Alps. Other Tomme cheeses include Tomme du Revard, Tomme Boudane, Tomme au Fenouil, Tomme de Grandmère, Tomme d'Aydius, Tomme Affinée and Tomme de Crayeuse."

Example sentence(s):
  • Pan-Roasted Mushrooms over Cheesy Polenta is a great use for tomme-style cheeses

disagree  Tony M: This misses out the key point of the s/t: that it is a 'lactic' cheese; 'tome' cheeses also exist that are NOT 'lactic', hence this would amount to under-, and arguably mis-translation.
12 hrs
  -> Maybe. It will depend on how specific or detailed the text is. As I said, the op always the option of keeping the original French term, which seems to be common practice as far as tomme-style cheeses are concerned.

Reference: Tomme

Reference information:
"Dans l’aire linguistique francoprovençale, « tomme » désigne une multitude de fromages qui ont en commun le nom et le fait d’être des productions domestiques et au lait maigre ou mi-gras2, par opposition au fromage gras à pâte pressée cuite qui, au contraire, est commercialisé."


"Tome des Bauges, Tomme de Savoie, Tome fraiche de l’Aubrac, Tomme de brebis corse… dans le vaste univers du fromage, les homonymes tome et tomme se côtoient. Est-ce une simple histoire d’affinité avec une graphie ? Y a-t-il véritablement une différence ou bien peut-on employer tome ou tomme indifféremment ?"
