The meat is slowly smoked in huge 25m tall chimneys called ‘tuyés’, using local pine wood. It is this traditional process which grant our charcuterie its unique flavours. Franche-Comté is famous for its slow-smoked pork sausages (Montbéliard or Morteau), protected by an AOC and label rouge certifications, which guarantee the quality of the meat used as well as the ‘savoir-faire’ of the region’s artisan producers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2021-02-22T14:16:12+00:00","alt":null,"width":780,"height":366,"src":"\/\/www.thefrenchcomte.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/charcut0c.jpg?v=1696146453"}},{"id":245036515508,"handle":"cheese","updated_at":"2024-04-25T15:50:47+01:00","published_at":"2021-02-22T14:14:43+00:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"web","title":"Cheese","body_html":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-right: autopx; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-left: autopx; float: none;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0536\/1955\/6532\/files\/Cheese3_e2521fbd-1aff-41a6-b686-7ce87e5e369b.jpg?v=1696146121\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\" style=\"font-size: large;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is amazing what happy cows can do!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe famous regional \"Montbéliardes” cows provide the milk used to make all of our hard and soft cheeses.
