Comte Reserve 24 Month 1/4

Item #: 7200

Charles Arnaud Comté is first and foremost a philosophy of tradition and celebrating what makes the Jura special; its terroir. All of those involved in the cheesemaking process, from farms to packing, are located in their region. It is made with traditional methods, using a handful of ingredients. All of them natural and without coloring or preservatives.

This all happens in the bowels of the legendary Fort des Rousses, where their Comté is exposed to very specific temperatures and humidity levels and hundreds upon hundreds of carefully crafted wheels are patiently nurtured to age. This meticulous process is what confers the Charles Arnaud standards of quality to these cheeses. The best kept secrets are in the details of care and fabrication which in turn make the Comté Charles Arnaud unique in the world of Comté. The texture is firm and smooth.

Each wheel has its own distinct profile that reflects the soil, climate, and flora where the cows graze - from melted butter, milk chocolate, hazelnuts, and fudge to aromas of toast, plum jam, leather, pepper, and dark chocolate, others can be more reminiscent of butterscotch and hazelnuts and even sweet oranges.
