Morbier AOP 6.5kg
Description
Made in the Jura Mountains, Franche-Comte region, Morbier cheese dates back to the 19th century when producers of Comte cheese decided to make a smaller cheese for their own consumption. In those days, a layer of wood ash separated the curd made from morning milk from the curd made with the evening milk.This gave the cheese its distinctive dark centre stripe through the paste . Today the stripe is a simple vegetal colouring .
Made with the milk of the Montbeliarde cow which is typical of this area, it has a supple silkiness that is sweet, rich and has a nutty aftertaste with hints of fruit and fresh hay.
It pairs well with fruity white wines, nuts and grapes, and is a great melting cheese used in recipes like Quiche Lorraine, potato gratin.
