Our best selling cheese! Our wheels are aged for 2 years and hand-selected for us. We only buy full 80# wheels and cut them to order to ensure freshness. 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 Mountains, near the Swiss border. 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. Loaded with protein crystals, complex flavors and tradition. Great on its own, but try it with a fresh salad, melted over soup or make the best omelet with it. It pairs well to a variety of wines.
