BRINGING THE FLAVOURS OF FRANCE TO THE UK

About Us

About Us

Founded in 2011 by a small team from the Franche-Comté region of eastern France, The French Comte was born from a simple ambition: to share the exceptional food, wine and artisan traditions of our home with the UK. What began at our Borough Market stall has grown into a trusted destination for lovers of authentic French produce, while remaining true to the values that inspired us from the very beginning.

Over the years, we've built lasting relationships with trusted producers and specialist suppliers across France, allowing us to bring together an exceptional range of artisan food and drink. Every product is carefully chosen for its quality, authenticity and craftsmanship, reflecting the rich culinary heritage of the regions it comes from.

Although our roots are firmly in Franche-Comté, our range has grown to celebrate the very best of French gastronomy. Alongside our renowned Comté, cheeses, charcuterie and Jura wines, you'll discover artisan specialities from across France, each chosen for their authenticity, craftsmanship and flavour.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to bring the authentic flavours of France to the UK through products chosen for their quality, character and provenance.

With our roots in Franche-Comté, we are particularly proud to champion the cheeses, charcuterie, wines and specialities of our home region, while also seeking out exceptional products from across France. We work with trusted producers and specialist suppliers to build a collection that reflects the richness and diversity of French gastronomy.

Above all, we want to make great French food accessible and enjoyable - whether it is a beautifully matured Comté, a regional delicacy discovered for the first time, or simply something delicious to share around the table.
