Detailed Information
Produced in the Jura region of France, Comté is crafted following traditional methods and aged in maturing cellars for a minimum of 12 months. This process allows the cheese to develop a firm, dense texture with a rich, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor profile, complemented by subtle notes of caramel and butter.
