THE FINER DETAILS
Comté Fort Aged La Couronne
Marcel Petite, one of the most respected affineurs of Comté in France, hand-selects wheels for maturation in their 19th century underground cellars at Fort Saint Antoine, high in the mountains that border France and Switzerland. These cheeses are carefully graded before, during and after maturation, during which time they develop a dense and smooth texture and a concentrated nutty flavour.
ORIGIN: Jura, France
SUB CATEGORY: Semi Hard/Hard
RECOMMENDED WINE PAIRING:
Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon
A light and vibrant cheese, which we find maches perfectly with our deep, rich Coonawara Cabernet Sauvignon. The earthiness plays with the light tang from the cheese perfectly, a simple but unbeatable match up.
