Comte cheese

Cheese, generally speaking, is not a tough sell. Even so, it can be hard to convince someone — even a cheese-loving someone, like myself — to stray from the usual cheesy standbys and try something new.

Here’s one that is perhaps new to you: Comté cheese.

Comte cheese is a product of the picturesque French region of Franche-Comté in the Jura Mountains, near the border with Switzerland. In this guide, we dive into the history, flavors, and pairing.

Who knew that France produces more Comté cheese than any other of its AOC cheeses? There’s got to be good reason…
