Ingredients of Comté 12 Months
Ingredients:
Fat 45+, unpasteurized cow's milk, rennet, salt, starter culture
The pride of the French mountains (aged 12 months)
The Comté cheese is undoubtedly one of the most loved cheeses from France. This firm mountain cheese is exclusively produced in the Jura Mountains. The fresh, raw milk of local Montbéliarde or French Simmental cows is used for the preparation. Because the milk remains unpasteurized, the cheese perfectly captures the aromas of the lush flowers and herbs that the cows eat in the mountains.
What makes this specific variant so special is the ripening process of at least 12 months in special maturing cellars. This has given the cheese extra time to develop its complex flavor. The Comté 12 months is more intense than a young Comté, with distinct notes of roasted nuts, brown butter and a hint of fruit. During this longer ripening, small, crunchy protein crystals also form in the dairy, which provides a fantastic texture. An absolute star on a luxurious cheese board or in a classic cheese fondue.
Freshly cut from the knife for the highest quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat this beautiful French cheese with the deepest respect. As soon as we receive your order, we cut the Comté fresh from the large cheese wheel. Immediately afterwards, the piece is packed tightly and airtight in a vacuum. To optimally protect the delicate structure and the rich aromas during shipping, we always send your order including a cooling pack. This allows you to bring absolute top quality into your home.
Frequently Asked Questions about Comté 12 months
What is the difference with a younger Comté?
Because this Comté has matured for 12 months, the taste is much more concentrated, fruitier and more complex than with a young Comté (which often ripens for around 6 months). The texture is also slightly firmer and you will occasionally taste a subtle salt crystal.
Is this cheese suitable for pregnant women?
No, as a precaution we advise against this. Comté is traditionally prepared with raw, unpasteurized cow's milk. Pregnant women are better off avoiding raw milk cheeses.
Can I use Comté 12 months for cheese fondue?
Yes, certainly! It is even one of the classic and most popular ingredients for a traditional cheese fondue. The cheese melts fantastically and gives the fondue a wonderfully rich, nutty depth.
Do you also sell other French cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to this beautiful Comté, we have various other delicious cheeses from France. View our complete category French cheese to discover all our French specialties.
