The pride of the French mountains
The Comté cheese is undoubtedly one of the most loved cheeses from France. This hard 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.
During ripening in the special maturing cellars, the Comté develops its characteristic, complex flavor. This is rich, full-bodied and beautifully balanced with notes of roasted nuts, melted butter and a hint of sweet fruit. The texture is firm but melts wonderfully in the mouth. It is a fantastic cheese for a luxurious cheese board, as a savory snack, but also an absolute star in a classic cheese fondue.

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 cheese
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 for cheese fondue?
Yes, certainly! Comté is one of the classic ingredients for a traditional cheese fondue. The cheese melts fantastically and gives the fondue a wonderfully rich, nutty and creamy taste.
What is the difference between Comté and Gruyère?
Although they look similar and both come from mountainous areas, Comté comes from the French Jura and Gruyère from Switzerland. Comté is often slightly sweeter and fruitier, while Gruyère can be a bit more savory and saltier.
