Comté DOP

• One of Europe’s great cheeses, made in the Jura Massif region of Eastern France.

• Comté cheese was first produced in the 12th century.

• Comté is protected by a European Union DOP that details strict standards around its production.

• There are over 80 flavors which can be savored while tasting Comté. But the main aromatic flavors that delicately linger on the palate are a balance of brown-butter and roasted-nut aromas and a sweet finish.

• Its ability to melt easily means Comté goes well with many recipes right from fondues to Croque Monsieur.

In the Jura, the drink of choice is Vin Jaune – a nutty wine that is made in a similar way to sherry. Brown beers, Champagne and light Pinot Noir reds are also recommended.
