My friend Daphne Zepos is a professional cheese maven who now specializes in just one cheese, a Comté, from the Jura region of France. “I decided to fill a need, ” Daphne recently told me. She hand-selects comté cheeses that are exceptionally strong in flavor, with the aroma of toasted nuts. Comtè is great for gratins and fondues or for just plain nibbling. Moreover, it goes well with dry sherry as well as either red or white wine.
