Description & Tasting Notes Made exclusively with milk from organic farms in the Franche-Comté, this Comté showcases the best of region – a light, sweet flavour with notes of creamy, fresh milk, mountain pastures and sweet roasted nuts. During the 12 month maturation the texture becomes firm and smooth, retaining some slight suppleness.Other Notes & Serving Suggestions In France, no cheese platter is complete without Comté. This medium matured version works well as a platter cheese – or in recipes such as fondues and gratins. It’s delicious served with pear jam and fresh crusty bread. Comté is quite low in salt compared to other hard cheeses, so is a good choice for anyone on a reduced salt diet who doesn’t want to cut out cheese.
