    IMHO its the king of cheeses. Mature Gruyere comes close but often has a gritty texture that lets it down.

    I also think Franche Comte is the most beautiful region in france. Home of Absinth too.

    Cracked open a lump of 'Sandham's Cloth-bound Creamy Lancashire' tonight, scoffed with it with some Appleby's Chesire (which is rapidly becoming my favourite cheese ever).

    This is proper cheese! - The Sandham's is a quite soft Lancashire (not in the least bit crumbly, though) quite a mild flavour, but tasty with it.

    I keep thinking that the top rind of that cheese would make a great speaker cone. Not sure if it would need a crossover though.

    I was introduced to Comté when I went to Borough Market in London, sadly haven't been back latey to get some more. Waitrose stocks the same brand, but it though it seems more expensive. Luckily they also sell have under their own name a Marcel Petit Comté, which is also pretty good a much more affordable.

    Tesco sell a decent Compté. In fact type in "Compté cheese at Tesco" into Google and the ninth hit is someting I wrote in this thread:
