Will Studd Mountain Comté has been carefully chosen for its rich concentrated nutty texture, elegant caramel aromas with hints of wildflowers, freshly cut grass, damp earth and grilled onions. Most of all, each bite reveals a lingering kaleidoscope of flavours which we consider to be the benchmark by which others are judged. Every wheel is slightly different, and unlike most brands of Comté each exquisite crusty wheel is clearly identified to ensure you can enjoy a tantalising taste of place.

Comté, or Gruyere de Comté as its sometime known is the most popular raw milk cheese in France. It ticks all the boxes for provenance under the AOC system, but not all cheese imported to Australia bearing the famous name is the same.
Will Studd Selected Comte is produced only from the milk of cows grazing pastures of the Jura above 650m. These high altitude ‘mountain’ cheeses are rare, and highly prized by affineurs because they set a benchmark by which others are judged.
Each wheel in our selection has been very slowly matured on spruce planks in the cool damp cellars of Rivoire Jacquemin. This family-owned company was the first to build purpose built cellars in the region, and today is the only affineur to continue the 1860’s tradition of rubbing the rind with mineral rich Guérande sea salt as the cheese matures.
