Product Description
Manufactured from a centuries-previous recipe, 70-pound wheels of Comté have been created considering that the reign of Charlemagne, when there have been no separate entities named France and Switzerland. Comté has the highest manufacturing figures of all the French AOC cheeses, as cheese makers function to satisfy the world\'s hunger for this excellent cheese.Although Swiss Gruyere may possibly be greater acknowledged, the French selection is no much less unique. Designed by regional villagers in alpine dairies called \"Fruiteries\", its milk comes from Montbeliarde and Tachete de L\'est cows. Contributing to Comté\'s special flavor, morning and evening milkings are mingled before the cheesemaking process. For transforming the milk into curds, the cheesemaker only employs normal ferments to receive the Comte seal. During aging, the curd is cooked, then pressed, with a organic brushed rind that comes from weekly care.When it comes to acquiring flavour, Comté cannot be hurried. These Reserve wheels are aged for 1 year, resulting in a sweet and nutty masterpiece with significantly less bite than its counterpart from Switzerland. Distinguished by a black label, this Comté is hand-selected by Entremont, ensuring the highest quality.Comté has a satiny, ivory-colored entire body and a scattering of holes the size of a hazelnut. A classic fondue cheese, Comte can also be shredded, sliced, grated, and chunked, rather than melted. This is not a cheese that always tastes the same. Every round of Comté reveals distinctions in the composition of its taste, based on the micro-region where it was developed, the season, the particular approach of the cheese maker, and the cellar exactly where it was matured. It can usually be named on and in no way disappoints, whether as a table cheese or in a gratin.Manufactured from unpasteurized cow\'s milk aged for a single year.Complete form is 70 pounds.We lower and wrap this item by the pound.Please make contact with us if you would like to buy the complete form.
