Some history from our supplier: 'From the Middle Ages, the number of litres of milk needed to make a Comté wheel (more than 400 litres) encouraged farmers to organize their villages into fruit plantations, which correspond to the cooperatives that we know currently. In recent decades, Comté manufacturing has modernized in order to improve the quality of the cheese. Know-how and ancestral practices remain the guarantor of traditional character and authenticity of the product.'
