Ingredients:
Fat 45+, unpasteurized cow's milk, rennet, starter culture, salt

The rich taste of a long maturation

The Comté 18 months is the perfect example of what a long maturation can do to a quality cheese. This cheese is produced in the French Jura Mountains from raw milk of local cows. During the 18-month ripening in the silence of the maturing cellars, the moisture evaporates and the flavors concentrate. This results in a firm, slightly crumbly texture with delicious ripening crystals.

The taste is unprecedentedly rich and complex. You taste clear notes of roasted hazelnuts, dark caramel, dried fruit and savory broth. This extra matured Comté is an absolute star on a luxurious cheese board, accompanied by a good glass of wine or a full port. Moreover, it adds an enormous depth when you melt it in a high-quality cheese fondue.

Freshly cut from the knife for the highest quality

At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat this exclusive mountain 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 complex aromas and the texture 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 18 months

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.

Are the white dots in the cheese normal?

Yes, absolutely! The white dots are protein crystals that are created by the long ripening process of 18 months. They give the cheese a delicious, light crunch and are a sign of excellent quality and age.

How do I best serve this cheese?

Take the Comté out of the refrigerator about half an hour to an hour before consumption. At room temperature, the complex and nutty aromas come into their own best.

Do you also sell other French cheeses?

Absolutely! In addition to this long-matured Comté, we have various other delicious cheeses from France. View our complete category French cheese to discover all our French specialties.
