Comté Marcel Petite Cyclamen – 16 Month

Comté Cyclamen” refers to an exceptionally long-aged, hard French cheese made from unpasteurized cow’s milk in the Jura region, specifically a  vintage product requiring a slow maturing process of at least 12 months, or often longer, in special cellars. This slow ripening results in a complex flavor profile with nutty, fruity, and savory notes, and a firm, sometimes crystalline texture. The name “Cyclamen” is a reference to a type of Millesime that is particularly prized for its quality and long aging.
