Essex Comté

In the name of love, this cheese from France tells it all. A labor of love for Essex St Cheese in an effort to increase the quality in production and improve awareness in the states, this is a beautiful example of Comté. Firm yet creamy, sweet and tart, balanced salinity with nuttiness, this is the more dainty version of big brother Gruyère. It is perfect for date night with cornichons, charcuterie and a dry Pinot Noir.
