Comté Vieux, 18 Month, 150g

Comté Vieux, matured 18 months and more, a French Alpine cheese with deep nutty, brown-butter and toasted-hazelnut notes and a firm, crystalline bite. Superb on the board or grated into a gratin.

A traditional French Alpine cheese crafted using raw cow’s milk. This cheese features a firm texture with a crystalline, slightly granular bite, indicative of its long aging process. The rind is natural and thin, while the interior displays a pale yellow to amber coloration, revealing its complex flavor profile.

The cheese’s flavor profile includes deep nutty, brown-butter, and toasted-hazelnut notes, complemented by subtle caramel and savory undertones that develop during the 18 months of aging. Its balanced, layered profile makes it suitable for various culinary uses.

The Comté Vieux 150g wedge is ideal for cheese boards, offering a rich, mature flavor that pairs well with fruits, nuts, and crusty bread. It is also well-suited for grating into gratins, sauces, or salads, where its nutty and caramel notes enhance the dish’s depth. This cheese is ideal for cheese connoisseurs, entertaining hosts, and those seeking a high-quality, aged French cheese with robust flavor characteristics.

Each 150g wedge arrives ready for immediate use, with no additional packaging required for the cheese itself; it does not include accompaniments. The cheese is best stored in a refrigerator at temperatures between 0°C and 8°C and should be wrapped in wax paper or cheese paper to maintain freshness.

For optimal flavor, allow the Comté Vieux to come to room temperature before serving. It can be stored for up to one week after opening when properly wrapped. No specific care instructions are required beyond proper storage conditions to preserve the cheese’s flavor and texture during use. No warranty details are provided, but freshness and quality are maintained through the aging process and proper storage guidelines.
