Explained in plain English
Comté is a famous French cheese, known for its nutty flavour and firm texture. It's a prime example of a product with a protected origin label (AOP), meaning it must be made in a specific region of France using milk from local cows fed on particular pastures. The recent drought threatened this tradition by destroying the essential mountain grass.
