Hard French Cheeses
Comté A.O.C. - AKA the wine writer's cheese as it is so versatile with wine types (and beer and cider..) This legendary mountain cheese is the best selling cheese in France, even after Camembert and it's easy to see why.  €2.80/100g

Mimolette 18 mois A.O.C. - This unusual cheese is made in Lille and starts off looking like a basic edam, but as it ages (18 months) it develops a wonderful depth of flavour (as it dehydrates the natural milk sugars (lactose) become concentrated). A natural rind develops and often looks quite like a planet with its characteristic orange colour and cratered rind €36.00 each
Beaufort d’été A.O.C. This regal mountain cheese is made high up in the mountains of Haute Savoie. It has a typically buttery, dense consistency and rich, grassy aromas. €3.00/100g
Ardi Gasna - a raw ewe's milk cheese from the Basque Pyrenees. More crumbly than its more buttery-textured cousin Ossau Iraty (maybe its dryness is why I love it so much) it has a rich oiliness which complements this. The taste is a delicate balance of sweetness and saltiness typically characteristic of ewe's milk cheeses and definitely one of my top ten. This one has a gorgeous sharp finish. Try it coldish, it tends to exude its oil if served 'too much at room temperature'. €2.70/100g
