Comté Gruyère from the Jura Mountains

Experience the pinnacle of French cheesemaking with our authentic Comté Gruyère, sourced directly from the lush, high-altitude pastures of the Jura Mountains in Eastern France. This isn't just cheese; it’s a protected piece of culinary history. Every wheel is aged to perfection in silent stone cellars, allowing the complex notes of brown butter, toasted hazelnuts, and summer apricots to develop within its ivory paste.

As a raw cow's milk cheese with AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée) status, our Comté reflects the strict traditions of local fruitières. Whether melted into a luxurious fondue, shaved over a crisp salad, or enjoyed on a gourmet charcuterie board with a glass of Jura wine, this Comté offers a dense, creamy texture and a savory finish that lingers beautifully.

Please note:  Our cheese is hand-cut, so the weight may be an ounce or two below or above 1/2 LB.
