fromage comté

Comté (also called Gruyère de Comté) is a French cheese made from unpasteurized cow's milk in the Franche-Comté region of eastern France.

The cheese is made in flat circular discs, each between 40 centimetres  and 70 centimetres  in diameter, and around 10 centimetres in height. Each weighs up to 50 kilograms. The fat content is around 45%, aging time: 8-12 months.

The rind is usually a dusty-brown colour, and the internal pâte is a pale creamy yellow. The texture is relatively hard and flexible, and the taste is mild, slightly sweet, and 'nutty'.
