Comte Fruite, Cows Milk, 1kg

Comte Fruite Cheese 1kg is 1kg of Comté Fruité AOP, the youngest and most approachable age expression of this Jura mountain cheese. Comte Fruite cheese 1kg is the most accessible expression of Comté. As a result, the shorter ageing gives Fruité a floral, milky character with fruit notes. Furthermore, at 1kg this is the professional kitchen or household format. In particular, Fruité suits melting in fondue and gratin where a milder Comté flavour is preferred.

About Comte Fruite Cheese 1kg

We source French mountain and aged cheese from specialist producers in the Jura, Savoie, Basque Country and Pyrenees. In particular, Comté from the Jura is one of the most complex cheeses in the world. As a result, the Fruité, Vieux and Extra Vieux expressions offer completely different experiences from the same foundational cheese. Furthermore, Raclette and Tomme de Savoie are mountain cheeses built for cooking as much as the board. However, the ewes’ milk cheeses of the Pyrenees carry the intense character of mountain sheep’s milk. In particular, these cheeses pair beautifully with Jurançon and Irouléguy wines. Additionally, AOP certification guarantees genuine mountain origin. That diversity of mountain and aged French cheese defines this part of our range. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cheese lovers.

Why Choose Comte Fruite Cheese 1kg From Us

Using Comté well rewards exploring different age expressions. In contrast to a standard block, Comté varies enormously between 6 and 30-plus months. As a result, a Fruité is floral and mild, a Vieux is nutty and complex, and an Extra Vieux is crystalline and intense. Furthermore, all Comté ages melt beautifully and suit fondue and gratin. However, older Comté suits a more serious cheese board alongside a good Jura wine. In particular, French onion soup requires good aged Comté on top for the finest result. Moreover, Comté is made from the milk of a single day’s production in a named cooperative. Additionally, the AOP protects genuine Jura production and Montbéliarde cattle milk. That age-driven complexity defines what makes Comté one of the world’s great cheeses.
