The Comté "lord of cheeses" is impossible to describe in a few words as its diversity of taste is incredible.
Some are mild, others more salty and milky, while others are rich in aroma and roasted.
The variability of the maturation period (four months minimum) means that it is possible to obtain Comté cheeses from different seasons at any time.
The taste of Comté cheese has several components: the saltiness is brought mainly by the salt with which the Comté cheese has been rubbed during the maturing process; the acidity is not very intense and is more perceptible in young cheeses; the sweetness is quite clear in some cheeses; the bitterness is sometimes found at the end of the tasting.
