Sherry (Amontillado)

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.

Comté cheese, with its complex nutty, fruity and sometimes caramel-like flavor profile, pairs beautifully with wines from its native Jura region that offer complementary nuttiness and acidity. The cheese's crystalline texture and savory depth also works wonderfully with Belgian-style beers that offer fruity esters and carbonation to cleanse the palate.
