Comte is one of my favorite cheeses so I was interested in trying the collection. The 36 month & the 48 month samples were more like eating Parmigiano Reggiano rather than Comte and one taste was it for those two. I most enjoyed the 24 month cheese, it was a real hit for me. Next favorite was the 7 months cheese. The 14 month cheese was OK, but nothing to write home about. I knew there were different Comtes and always thought it was the location where it was aged, but now realize it was actually the age of the cheese that made the difference. I will now look for the 24 month cheese when I buy it or the 7 month cheese if unable to find the 24 month one. Would recommend this collection tasting as a good way to find your favorite Comte.
