Comté is a classic semi-hard cheese made from unpasteurized cow's milk in the Franche-Comté region. Comté is a mildly nutty and slightly sweet French Alpine-style cheese.

Comte, matured for 14 months, is deliciously creamy, sweet and lightly hazelnut-like.

Comté cheese was first made in France in the 12th century and is now the most produced AOC cheese in France. Comté is carefully graded: each cheese is given a label based on appearance, rind, quality, texture and taste. Cheeses that do not pass the strict criteria are not given the Comté name.

Only the very best individuals will receive the prestigious clock symbol around them.
