Comté Cheese

The main aromatic flavors of comté that delicately linger on the palate are a balance of brown-butter and roasted-nut aromas and a sweet finish of a blend of fruity and savory with undertones of nutty, smokey, and salty. It has a pale yellow interior, dusty-brown rind, and a texture that can vary from supple, firm, smooth to grainy, crystalline. Shaped in discs measuring between 40-70 cm and 10 cm in height.

Considered one of the top finest cheeses in the world, the cheddar of France, loved by many, Comté is produced in the Jura Massif region in France with AOP seal (protected designation of origin, one of the first few kinds of cheese). Matured between 4-24 months in special caves where it gets the unique texture, color, and taste.

charming cheese
I'm looking forward that this cheese becomes available again. This is my favorite cheese for cooking, creamy with nutty flavor. It looks nice on my cheese board, too.
