Comte Vieux 30 months

Comté cheese has been crafted for over two millennia, earning praise from Julius Caesar himself in ancient Rome. Today, it stands as France’s most produced AOC cheese. This Comté Vieux 30 months is a true connoisseur’s choice, designed for those who seek depth, complexity, and pure indulgence. During its long maturation, the cheese loses moisture and crystallizes, revealing delicate amino acid crystals that add a satisfying crunch and intensify its savory character. The texture becomes smoother and denser, while the aroma unfolds into rich, lingering notes of walnuts, roasted almonds, melted butter, and warm spices, all softened by a whisper of mature cream for an unforgettable tasting experience.

Serve it on a cheese board with fresh white or black grapes, a handful of dried fruit, or a selection of nuts to let its full personality shine. For the perfect pairing, reach for a bold red wine such as a Saint-Estèphe or Pomerol, or a refined white like a crisp Sauvignon or an aromatic Alsace Gewürztraminer. Store in the fridge for up to 5 weeks, wrapped in cheese paper or lightly perforated film, and bring it out one hour before serving to allow all its flavors to bloom at room temperature.
