This whole wheel, bearing the green mark on the heel in accordance with the appellation's regulations, guarantees authenticity and superior quality for culinary professionals. Professional uses, preparation and storage: ► Use in kitchens and catering facilities: This Comté is a key ingredient for creating cheese platters, savoury pastries, or for adding depth to gratins and gourmet sauces. ► Production optimisation: With an average weight of ±35kg per wheel, this size yields approximately 1,000 portions of 35g, offering excellent control over the cost per portion for banquets and contract catering. ► Quality and freshness: To guarantee optimal organoleptic properties, the wheel is cut to order by our head cheesemaker and vacuum-packed, ensuring maximum freshness on delivery. ► Characteristics: Comprising 98.5% milk and 1% salt, this cheese has stable physico-chemical properties, with a fat content on dry matter of between 45% and 54%. ► Preservation and storage: To preserve its texture and aromatic profile, the wheel must be stored at a temperature of 6°C ±2°C.
