Comté AOC



General information: Origin: Franche-Comté Cheese group: Pressed, cooked cheeses Milk type: Cow's milk Strength: Medium Taste: Aromatic, fruity, nutty Fat content: minimum 45% Season: Fruity in summer, aromatic in winter



Description: A spicy solid cheese, Comté, is from the Jura mountains in the region of Franche-Comté. This French cheese has a diameter of 75 centimetres and a weight of 35 kilograms. The reason for this enormous size is in part due to its long tradition. In earlier times, large cheese wheels had the advantage that they could be stored for long periods of time, keeping throughout the long winter.

Comté has maintained its traditional production, and today it is produced by hand from raw milk and stored for at least three months. The milk is exclusively from cows of the Montbéliard breed, which graze on mountain meadows. Comté is also produced in Eastern Burgundy, parts of Lorraine, Champagne-Ardennes and Rhône-Alps.

As each raw milk cheese wheel is an individual, each tastes a little different depending on the season, degree of ripeness and on the cheese master. The flavour varies from fruity with summer Comté to nutty with winter Comté. It received the AOC seal (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) in 1952.



Suggestions: Comté connoisseurs enjoy the pure taste as an aperitif or as dessert. It is especially good plain or with a mixed salad. It is also really good during aperitif with some French nut saucisson.
