Have you bought one of our Comté tshirts yet?

A super cool shirt for a super cool cause! 🧀🌈
The art came from one of the wheels from our Comté batch selection.

Essex Street Cheese has been importing their own profile of Marcel Petite Comté since their founding in 2006. Essex focuses on selecting and importing a limited range of iconic European cheeses. They are committed to empowering cheese professionals to grow in their joy through education and community.

This is why they are a founding supporter of the Daphne Zepos Teaching Endowment which disburses annual scholarships from a memorial fund to celebrate the legacy of Daphne Zepos, an insightful and dynamic advocate for the cause of traditional cheese here in the U.S. and around the world. Proceeds from the sales of these tshirts will be directly donated to the DZTE and help promote cheese education and community every time you wear it!

Did you catch .benham ‘s inaugural presentation yesterday about “Growing Great Cheese”? It was truly exciting to hear about how different producers all implement feed in order to maximize the flavor of their cheese and put their individual handprint on the curd. Great cheese starts with great grass. We can’t wait to hear more from Matt as he continues his research!
