Comté

Jura Massif, FranceRaw cow's milkAged 4–48 months

Comté is a French, unpasteurized cow’s milk cheese from the Jura Mountains, known for its firm texture and rich, nutty flavour with notes of butter, toasted hazelnuts, and caramel. Aged for several months or longer, it develops increasing depth and complexity, making it excellent for cheese boards, melting, or pairing with white wine.
