Comte Symphonie 16-24 month - Marcel Petite, Third of a Pound

Delight in the unique flavors of Comte Symphonie 16-24 month - Marcel Petite. Marcel Petite matures this Comté in the Jura mountains of France from raw cow's milk, and it is one of the reference points for the style.

Why you'll love it

• Raw cow's milk — unpasteurized milk from the Jura, which is what gives Comté its depth.
• Sixteen months and up — selected wheels in the sixteen to twenty-four month range, so expect some variation from wheel to wheel.
• Hazelnut and onion — notes of hazelnut, caramelized onion and rich scalded milk.
• Firm and smooth — a smooth, firm paste that softens on the tongue instead of crumbling.
• Gruyère de Comté — its resemblance to Gruyère earned it that nickname years ago.

How to enjoy Serve it in thin shards with a glass of Savagnin or a dry Chardonnay, or melt it into a gratin. It also makes a very good sandwich with butter and cornichons.

Comté is the cheese we reach for most often in our own kitchens, and this one is the reason.
