MORBIER PDO
Morbier PDO
Origin: Franche-Comté, France
This distinctive cheese from Franche-Comté is instantly recognisable by its signature thin layer of ash running horizontally through the centre. Made from fresh unpasteurised cow's milk, Morbier develops a thin, natural rind that protects a pale yellow paste with buttery, tender texture. The ash layer, originally used to protect the morning curd before the evening milk was added, now serves as a beautiful visual reminder of this cheese's artisanal heritage.
The PDO status ensures authentic production using only raw milk from local farms. Each wheel is carefully crafted using traditional methods that create Morbier's characteristic supple texture and mild, fruity flavour with subtle nutty undertones.
Serve at room temperature to enjoy its full buttery texture. The thin rind is edible and adds earthy notes. Perfect melted in a croque-monsieur, layered in gratins, or simply enjoyed with crusty bread. The ash layer is completely edible and flavourless.
Producer: Made by Franche-Comté farmers using fresh unpasteurised milk from their own herds grazing in the Jura mountains.
Allergens: Contains milk (unpasteurised)
