Comté’s fruity and nutty flavors are a beautiful match alongside chocolate truffles of all types. The best pairings are white chocolate truffles, which tease out the cheese’s floral qualities, and dark chocolates with hazelnuts, which complement the nutty notes. Pack it all up in a retro cookie tin and you have the perfect gift!

Give your guests a real treat this Halloween by serving a Comté cheeseboard at your spooky shindig, séance, or soirée. Artfully arranged cubes of Comté may look frightening, but the real scare is how good they taste! There’s no need to fret if your guests are among the undead, either, because Comté paired with fresh figs, honeycomb, and prosciutto will have them feeling alive! It’s not a trick- entertaining really is easy when Comté is involved.

Looking for a fall pairing that highlights the fresh, fruity notes often found in Comté? Try pairing it with a fruited lambic, a fruited beer made through spontaneous fermentation of wild yeast and aged in wooden casks. Look for Kriek Lambic (made with cherries) or Peche Lambic (made with peaches) -- both are gently sweet and tart, a bit like the chutney of the beer world. For your Comté & Fruited Lambic Board, add nuts, charcuterie, rustic bread, and grainy mustard. Boom! You've just made dinner.
