The Brief

Sodiaal have chosen two delicious cheeses from their range for this year's competition. 

First up is Raclette. A real crowd pleaser with a pleasantly mild flavour and springy texture when served cold, but perhaps more familiar served hot, where it takes on an indulgent creaminess. 

Then there is Comté, the cheese that has it all. The ultimate gourmet cheese, which allows for a multitude of pairings.

Which will you choose? How will you use it?
