Comté Fort St. Antoine

Marcel Petite’s premier affinage facility is located just outside the village of Saint Antoine in the French department of Doubs, on the edge of the Jura. The Fort is renowned as the aging vault for much of France’s best Comté; it is a temple of cheese, housing over a hundred thousand wheels. Made from raw cow's milk, this aged cheese has aromas of hazelnuts, fried onions and spring berries shine over an undercurrent of cut grass, wet earth, and straw. There is a humble perfection in these wheels; herbaceous and fruity, kissed with deep, heavy cream. This is a cheese for eaters.
