Comté cheese is exclusively produced in the Franche-Comté region of eastern France. This gives it a unique flavor that cannot be replicated elsewhere.

Comté is the highest consumed AOC/PDO cheese in France. (About 1,700,000 wheels are produced every year. Because it’s an artisanal cheese, production can vary from year to year.)
