If I were to eat only one cheese for the rest of my life, it would be this. The milk for this cheese is sourced from the Jura Alps, where happy cows graze freely on grass, flowers and herbs high in the mountains. Comte is a semi-hard alpine style with a simple but elegant character. Think caramelised butter, roasted nuts and a grassy aroma that lingers in a floral and mineral finish. The texture is smooth and supple with a gentle hint of crystallisation. The 'Couronne' (crown) is a grading status for wheels that are awarded the highest quality by a panel of judging specialists (yes, a real job). Wheels of Comte are graded on quality rather than age, producer or brand. 

Comte is the hero of a traditional Croque Monsieur, delicious on toast with mustard and cornichons, or enjoyed simply on its own.

Fine cheese is highly perishable and seasonal, so buying person when possible is best. Read our buying guide here for tips from our cheesemonger. 

When ordering online, sizes are approximate for cheeses cut from the wheel. As such, prices may differ slightly from purchasing in store. If the cheese you have ordered is not available or not in peak condition, our cheesemonger will be in touch to arrange a suitable substitute. You can also call the store on 4655 4336 prior to placing an order for guidance from our team.
