Ingredients of Morbier Cheese

Ingredients:
Fat 45+, unpasteurized cow's milk, pasteurized cow's milk, vegetable ash.

The story behind the black layer of ash

What makes the Morbier cheese so unique and recognizable is the dark vein that runs horizontally through the middle of the cheese. This centuries-old tradition originates from the French Jura mountains. In the past, farmers did not have enough milk in the winter to make a whole cheese at once. The curd from the morning milk was placed in a mold and sprinkled with a thin layer of ash from the fire. This ash layer protected the cheese from insects and dehydration. The next day, the curd from the evening milk was placed on top, after which the cheese could mature further. Although this arose out of practical necessity, the vegetable ash layer has now become the famous hallmark of the Morbier.

The cheese has a supple, soft texture and a delicious, full flavor. In addition to its popularity as a dessert cheese on a luxurious cheeseboard, Morbier is also fantastic for melting. It is an excellent and tasty alternative in the raclette pan or over a hearty casserole with potatoes.

Frequently Asked Questions about Morbier Cheese

Is the layer of ash in the Morbier cheese edible?

Yes, absolutely! The dark line in the middle of the cheese is made of vegetable ash and is completely tasteless and safe to eat. It does not contribute to the taste, but it does provide the beautiful and authentic appearance of this French classic.

Can I eat Morbier cheese if I am pregnant?

Our Morbier is made from a blend of partly pasteurized and partly unpasteurized cow's milk. Because of the raw (unpasteurized) milk, eating this soft cheese raw is not recommended for pregnant women. However, if you thoroughly heat the cheese (for example in the oven or raclette), it is safe to eat.

Can I use Morbier for raclette?

Certainly! Morbier melts fantastically and gives a wonderfully creamy and savory twist to your dish. It is a great alternative to traditional raclette cheese. For more inspiration, also view our complete Raclette Cheese category.

How long can I keep this French cheese?

Thanks to our professional vacuum packaging, you can safely keep the cheese unopened in the refrigerator for 6 to 7 weeks. After opening, it is best to wrap the cheese in cheese paper; it will then remain wonderfully fresh in the refrigerator for about 1 to 2 weeks.

Morbier is a little hard for me to find in Saint Louis. I was happy to be able to get it from the Gouda Cheese Shop. My order was in two pieces, the first was quite good, perhaps not quite ripe yet, nevertheless, very good. The second chuck will await the holidays and will be enjoyed by the entire family. The product arrived very quickly in the US and is good condition. I will order again.
