Vintage Comté 36 months

“Cheese is the poetry of milk, an ode to happiness made of textures and flavours.”

A Comté carries a year within it. Like a great wine, it holds the memory of a summer, a winter, a springtime in the Jura. This 36-month Comté is a vintage in the fullest sense: three winters and three summers in the cellars of the Jura, a rare patience you can taste in every slice.

Thirty-six months of maturation turn the cooked pressed cheese into something exceptional. Tyrosine crystals appear in abundance, crunching between your teeth — the unmistakable sign of an accomplished maturation. They are not grains of salt: they are the marks of time.

Its profile is rarely this complex: fresh hazelnut and walnut, delicate caramel, gentle spices and a deep umami that lingers. Far beyond a standard Comté. This Comté AOP comes from the Jura, made with raw cow's milk, in keeping with the appellation.
