Aged for a minimum of 12 to 24 months, Comté Saint Antoine has a firm yet smooth texture, with the occasional crunch of tyrosine crystals, a sign of perfect maturation. Its flavour profile is rich and layered, offering notes of toasted nuts, caramelised butter, alpine grasses, and hints of cellar-aged wood. With extended ageing, it develops deeper umami and fruity undertones, making it a cheese of true distinction.
Renowned for its exceptional quality, this Comté is selected by expert affineurs (cheese agers) at Marcel Petite, one of the most respected Comté ageing specialists. Their meticulous process ensures that only the best wheels are chosen for long maturation in the natural humidity and cool temperatures of the Fort Saint Antoine ageing caves.
Comté Saint Antoine is best enjoyed on its own or paired with Jura Vin Jaune, aged Burgundy whites, or a fine Champagne. It melts beautifully in fondues, gratins, and gourmet sandwiches, and its nutty, savoury complexity makes it an essential addition to any luxury cheeseboard.
