Comté Cheese: French Craftsmanship with a Rich Flavor

Comté cheese is a renowned French AOP cheese from the Jura region. This raw milk hard cheese is traditionally made and aged for at least 4 months, giving it a rich, nutty flavor with subtle fruity notes. The longer it matures, the more intense and complex its aroma becomes.

Origin and History

Comté has been produced in the Jura mountains since the 12th century. Local farmers joined forces to create large cheese wheels that could be stored for long periods. This traditional method is still used today in local cheese dairies, known as fruitières, where milk from Montbéliarde and Simmental cows is transformed into this iconic cheese.

How to Enjoy Comté?

Thanks to its versatile taste and creamy texture, Comté is perfect for a variety of dishes:

• Cheese platter: Pairs beautifully with nuts, grapes, and a glass of white wine.
• Fondue: Melted for a delicious, authentic cheese fondue.
• Gratin: Grated over potato gratin or baked dishes for a golden crust.
• Bread and sandwiches: Delicious on fresh bread or in a croque monsieur.

With its rich history and deep flavor, Comté is a must-try for every cheese lover. Taste it and discover this unique French tradition!
