Corsican cheeses in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue
Ewe's tomme, brocciu, maquis-herb tomme, goat's cheese: at Via Notte, Corsican cheeses come as a sharing board on esplanade Robert Vasse. The local music bar puts the island at the centre of the table — charcuterie, wines and cheeses, to pick at between two bursts of live music.
The taste of the island
Cheeses straight from the maquis
The Corsican cheese board gathers what gives the island its character: ewe's tomme, maquis-herb tomme, goat's cheese, brocciu and passu brocciu, lifted with a fig jam. Honest, slightly wild pastes, marked by herbs and ewe's milk.
Via Notte is not just another restaurant: it's a music bar where the plate serves the mood. You share the board among several, you clink glasses, and the evening settles in around island produce rather than a seated dinner.
To share
The board, made for the table
Corsican cheeses are enjoyed like the rest of the menu: on a board, at the centre of the table. On their own or in a mixed version with island charcuterie — Prisuttu, Coppa, Lonzo — served with homemade anchoïade and aïoli.
You pick, you go back for more, you put the world to rights. Fresh brocciu sits beside aged tomme, and the fig jam softens the sharpest pastes: a board built to last a whole evening.
On the board
What you'll find
A Corsican selection, raw and generous, to share between two bursts of live music.
Ewe's tomme
A pressed ewe's-milk paste, clean and long on the palate — the backbone of the board.
Maquis-herb tomme
The same base, rolled in island herbs: rosemary, savory, a scent of garrigue.
Brocciu & passu brocciu
The fresh and the aged of the same iconic cheese, from mildest to sharpest.
The right pairing
Corsican cheeses, Corsican wines
Nothing suits a maquis tomme better than a glass from the island. The cellar leans firmly Corsican — an Aghione white, a Calvi rosé, Sartène reds — and the staff steer you towards the pairing that holds the board. All of it, Tuesday to Friday from 6 pm, to the beat of a live band and a DJ on Friday.
