Product Information
Comté is the king of French cheeses – every wheel hand-made and subtly different. During a 20-month maturation, the 35kg wheels of cheese develop an amazing depth of flavour – the underlying sweet note is accompanied by a rich flavour of roasted nuts and subtle creamy, yeasty finish. Delicious paired with sparkling wines and Pinot Noir.
