Comté Gruyere and Farmhouse Morbier

Dating back 700 years, Comté Gruyere is one of the most popular cheeses in France, and the most important made under the strict French appellation system. Will traces the important link between farmer, cheese maker and affineur (ripener) before visiting the old fort of Saint Antoine, where 60,000 crusty wheels are matured underground. Then it's off to a small farm to discover how Comté‘s close cousin, Morbier, acquired its black stripe.
