Comté is a delectable cheese with a nutty and fruity flavor. It is a complex, pressed cheese made from unpasteurized cow's milk and shares similarities with gruyere cheese. It is exclusively produced in the Jura Mountains of eastern France, specifically in the regions of Franche-Comté and parts of Switzerland.
When aged 12 months or more it can last for several months or even up to a year, if stored properly, As the cheese ages, it continues to develop and intensify in flavor, so some cheese enthusiasts prefer to allow it to age further before consuming it.
