The Tome fraîche (Occitan: Toma fresca) or Tomme fraîche (Formatge tomme fresc) is a slightly fermented, unsalted, hard-pressed curd cheese based on cow's milk. It is traditionally produced in the region of Aubrac and Cantal in Haute-Auvergne (Massif central).

Tome comes from the occitan word toma designating a fresh cheese.[1] The French orthography used at the end of the 19th century to designate the fresh volume was tome and not tomme.[2]
