Comte

Comté is a French cheese that holds the prestigious Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) status. Comté comes from the Jura region in eastern France, specifically from the departments of Jura, Doubs, and Ain. Comté is one of the most popular and widely produced cheeses in France.

It is a semi-hard, raw cow's milk cheese.  The cheese has a firm and dense texture with occasional small eyes (holes). The flavour is complex, ranging from nutty and slightly sweet to savoury and earthy, depending on the age of the cheese.
