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.
