Comté Cheese | Matured by Marcel Petite, 12–18 Months Our Comté is matured by the legendary Marcel Petite at Fort Saint Antoine — a vast 19th-century fort in the Jura mountains of eastern France, where over 100,000 wheels of Comté are aged at any one time. Made in the Franche-Comté region from the milk of Montbéliarde cows, this is one of the world's great hard cheeses: creamy in texture with occasional amino acid crystals, and a flavour that ranges from sweet and nutty through to savoury, vegetal and deeply complex.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as THOMAS JOSEPH BUTCHERY LIMITED, number 10995925. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
