This Comté AOP is a traditionally aged hard cheese made from raw cow’s milk in the Jura region of France. Matured for 30 months under Appellation d’Origine Protégée (AOP) guidelines, it is offered in a 1kg wedge format under the Comté label.

Detailed Information
Aging for 30 months results in a firm, granular texture with naturally formed tyrosine crystals. The flavor profile is intense and nuanced, featuring notes of toasted nuts, dried fruit, and mature cream, with a complex, savory finish. Each wheel is produced in regional fruitières using milk from Montbéliarde or Simmental cows and aged in carefully regulated cellars.

Who is Comté?
Comté is not a singular producer but a protected designation representing a network of certified dairies and affineurs in the Jura Mountains. Cheeses labeled under the Comté AOP brand are subject to strict production and aging criteria, ensuring uniform quality, traceability, and traditional character.
