Going against the grain of industrial optimization practices, Marcel Petite developed his slow ripening technique in the 1960s at Fort St Antoine in the Jura mountains. Its exceptional Comté cheese is matured for 15 to 20 months until it obtains a characteristic slightly crystallized texture. The flavors of this Comté AOP are more frank, with animal notes giving way to roasted aromas.

The excellence of Jura cheese aging, showcased through a selection of exceptional Comté cheeses aged 5 to 30+ months.

As an exceptional cheese ripener, Marcel Petite carries on a centuries-old tradition in the Jura region, bringing out the full aromatic richness of the Comté terroirs. Thanks to expertise passed down from generation to generation and meticulous aging carried out in its historic cellars, the master affineur offers professionals in the restaurant, cheese, and fine food industries wheels of cheese selected with the utmost rigor. To meet the demands of gourmet menus and seasonal platters, the company offers a remarkable selection: the 5–7-month-aged Comté, with its mild and approachable milky notes; the 16–22-month-aged Comté Grande Provenance, offering a perfect balance between fruitiness and character; and the 24-month-aged Comté Cyclamen Millésime, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture rich in tyrosine crystals and complex aromas of dried fruit and cooked butter. During the holiday season, the company rounds out this exceptional selection with its prestigious Comté Cyclamen Millésime aged 30 months+, a rare and intense variety reserved for the finest dining tables.
