Aged Comté cheese
Aged Comté's complex nutty, fruity, and slightly sweet flavors demand beverages with complementary depth. White wines with some richness and oxidative qualities work exceptionally well, while beers with caramel notes and complexity can highlight the cheese's crystalline texture and savory depth.
