COMTÉ 12/24 MONTH AGED - FORT DES ROUSSES
Comte 12/24 Month Aged - Fort Des Rousses
Origin: Franche-Comté, Eastern France
A perfectly aged raw milk Comté from master affineur Juraflore, matured in the historic Fort Des Rousses. This hard mountain cheese displays a complex flavour profile with notes of roasted nuts, brown butter and subtle crystallisation developed over 12-15 months of careful aging.
This exceptional Comté exemplifies the region's centuries-old cheesemaking tradition. Its distinctive taste reflects the diverse flora of the Jura mountain pastures where Montbéliarde cows graze freely. The extended ageing process creates a firm yet creamy texture with occasional crunchy protein crystals.
Serve at room temperature alongside a crisp Jura white wine or Champagne. Excellent on a cheeseboard, melted in traditional Fondue Comtoise, or grated over pasta dishes. Pairs beautifully with roasted nuts, honey, and fresh or dried fruits.
Producer: Juraflore has been aging Comté in the converted Fort Des Rousses since 1966. Situated at 1100 metres altitude, the fort's natural temperature and humidity provide ideal conditions for maturing Comté to perfection.
Allergens: Contains milk.
