Comté Fort Saint-Antoine.

Aged in a repurposed 19th-century fortress carved into the Jura peaks, Fort Saint-Antoine Comté develops a crystalline, almost granular texture that crumbles luxuriously on the tongue. Layers of caramel and toasted hazelnut give way to subtle floral undertones and a savory minerality—the cheese tastes like the alpine meadows themselves, filtered through months of patient maturation in limestone tunnels.
