A hard, spicey cheese, Comté, is made in the open pastures the Jura mountains in the region of Franche-Comté. The cheese is enormous in size, having a diameter of 75 centimetres and a weight of 35 kilograms. The reason for this size is, in part, due to its long tradition. In years gone by, large cheese wheels had the advantage that they could be stored for long periods of time, keeping throughout the long winter before being transported to market in Spring. Comté is still produced using traditional methods, being made by hand from raw milk from the Montbéliard breed. It is matured for at least three months. As each cheese wheel is an individual, each tastes a little different depending on the season and degree of ripeness. Our cheeses are matured for at least 18 months but we try to always have 24 month cheeses. An ivory coloured pâté presents a smooth, nutty flavour, and a golden brown crust. In the style of a rich and distinct Gruyère with a hint of caramel sweetness. We select mountain aged cheeses stored in traditional cellars close to where they are made. Connoisseurs of the cheese enjoy the pure taste as an aperitif or as dessert. It is especially good with fish or sea fruits.
