Cows and Comté

Cows eat grass but grass alone isn’t enough.
To produce milk, they need to have a calf.
During the day, they graze. Mornings and evenings are spent in the milking parlour.
At night, the lorry from the cheese dairy picks up the milk from several farms. Early in the morning, cheesemakers curdle the milk by heating it and adding calf rennet (from the calf’s stomach) to produce Comté. The Comté’s flavour is determined by the quality of the grass.
