Comté Cheese

This most distinguished of Jura's cheeses is dotted with small holes and has a characteristic hazelnut flavor. The Comté cheese is made without any artificial ingredients, using traditional methods in the small cheese dairy factories called "fruitieres". To reach its best flavor, it is aged for 4 to 12 months in cool cellars. 500 liters of milk are needed to produce one round of Comté cheese with a weight of about 40 Kg.
It gives an exceptional taste to some dishes and is used in many different regional recipes such as Fondue, gratins, salads.
