Comte

Comté cheese is made in the Jura Massif region of eastern France from unpasteurized cow’s milk. It is a semi-hard cheese, pale yellow in colour, with a texture that ranges from open, supple, and grainy for younger cheeses to dense, firm and crystalline for more aged cheeses.   The taste and texture of Comte changes as it ages.  A young Comte generally has aromas of fresh butter, dried apricots and soft caramel, whereas long-matured Comte will be more fruity, spicy and nutty.
