Seignemartin is a third generation family run company dedicated to the care and maturing of Comté, France’s most sold cheese. Located in the Jura mountains near the commune of Nantua, Seignemartin’s cellars contain the specialized conditions to bring out the best in each wheel of Comté. As an affineur, they select and age Comté from approximately 15 cheesemaking cooperatives spread throughout the AOC production area. These dairies are carefully chosen partners selected for the exceptional quality and distinctive flavors of their cheeses. Seignemartin sends their trucks out into the mountains and collects freshly made “white” wheels of Comté. At this stage, the cheese is very mild, without the characteristic rind or flavor. The wheels are brought into the cellar, placed on spruce planks, and the maturation begins. The affineurs carefully consider the place of origin and season of production, and use their experience to age every Comté to its full nuanced potential. Every wheel of Comté is unique, but careful selection and aging ensures a consistently amazing cheese.
