Comté is made from raw cow's milk, that graze in Vieu-d'Izenave in the Ain, in the heart of the AOP area. Comté is aged in Beillevaire's cellars, during this time, it develops a smooth, yellow paste with a buttery texture and complex flavors. Younger Comté has mild, nutty notes, while longer-aged versions gain deeper, roasted, and fruity aromas.

The Breton marshes of the Vendée, between the mouth of the Loire and the island of Noirmoutier, is a surprising, wild and characterful land. Pascal Beillevaire, a native of the region, decided to combine his passions for commerce and agriculture. The Beillevaire cheese dairy was created, bringing together the entire sector, from the producer to the consumers.
