Producer Details

+

For five generations, Fromageries Marcel Petite has aged Comté at Fort Saint Antoine, a former military fort perched at 1,100 meters in the Jura Mountains. Where other affineurs aged quickly, Marcel Petite pioneered slow, cool maturation, allowing each wheel to develop the complexity and nuance the cheese is capable of. Every wheel is tasted before it leaves the fort, none are sold by age alone.

Enjoy With

+

A light honey, crusty bread, whole grain mustard, prosciutto

Storage Tips

+

When you receive your cheese, unpack the order and refrigerate the items. We recommend using the cheese paper we send most of our products in to store the cheese. The cheese paper helps cover the items and stop them from drying out, while also allowing the cheese to breathe. Since cheese is mold, it's a living thing! If you cut off air circulation to the cheese, you can actually cause it to suffocate and spoil at a faster rate.
