COMTE 18 MOIS
The Product

Origin & Terroir
From the Jura Mountains where Montbéliarde cows graze on mountain pastures. The terroir - altitude, grass, and traditional cooperative system - creates Comté's unique character. Only 158 Comtois fruitières (dairies) can make it.
How to Enjoy
Serve at room temperature to appreciate full flavor complexity. Pair with Jura wines (Vin Jaune, Arbois), walnuts, and fruit. Excellent melted in fondue or grated over pasta. A versatile cheese suitable for any occasion.
