Comte A.O.C. is an ancient French gourmet cheese, also known as Gruyere de Comte; it is made in the Massif of the Jura, a region composed of medium range mountains situated in Franche-Comte, which lies between the Vosges and the Haute-Savoie. The Montbeliard cow is the only breed of cattle whose milk is authorized for making Comte. The cheese is hard, straw-colored, contains some medium-size holes and has a tendency to crack on cutting. Comte has a floral aroma with nutty fudge flavors developing in the more mature cheese. The taste is full of nuts and toffee with a lovely long and salty finish. Older cheeses take on a strong, farmyard-like character. The cheese has a thin beige rind which thickens and hardens as the cheese matures. This cheese is 15 months old and a close cousin of the Beaufort.

Cheshire cheese has a loose and crumbly texture, much more friable and moist than many other firm cheeses. The cheese has a mild and lightly salty taste which is attributed to the salty soil of the Cheshire plain. Mature cheeses acquire more piquancy with age. Cheshire could be England's oldest cheese. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book and its origins go back to Roman times.

This artisanal gouda-style cheese has a beautiful pale, ivory color, the texture is firm and dense and the taste is smooth with a slight graininess long-aged cheeses have. The wheel is finished in a beautiful black wax that accentuates the pale paste. An entire wheel of Midnight Moon weighs about 9 pounds and we sell this gourmet cheese in wedges of 8 ounces and 1 pound.
