Contents: Hard cow’s milk cheese aged 18 months, AOP-certified

Product Description

Comté 18 Months is a prestigious mountain cheese from the Jura region of France, made exclusively from raw Montbéliarde or Simmental cow’s milk and aged for a minimum of 18 months in traditional stone cellars. This long affinage allows the cheese to develop intense complexity, a grainy-crystalline texture, and a deep, nutty aroma. Protected under AOP (Appellation d’Origine Protégée) status, every wheel is handcrafted with respect for terroir and tradition.
