MORBIER AOP
€6.63
Aged for 4 to 6 months. Enjoy it as is or melted in a raclette! A proud product of the cheese-making tradition of Franche-Comté.
We know Morbier well — we’ve been working with the same creamery in the village of Métabief for years.
The farmers of Morbier, a village in the Jura region, created this cheese in the 19th century. Back then, when only a small amount of milk was available, they would curdle it and let it rest. The curd was then covered with a layer of ash from the hearth to prevent oxidation and keep insects away. The next day, the process was repeated, and the two layers of curd were pressed together.
Originally, it was a storage cheese, made by mountain folk to last through the winter months.
Our Morbier is crafted by the Sancey Richard family in the small village of Métabief. After 45 days of aging, we take over and refine the cheeses in our own cellars for another 60 days. This careful aging process gives our Morbier its truly unique character.
It’s a cheese with real history, and we believe in giving it time. We age it for at least 6 months, well beyond the usual, so it can develop its full personality — mild, honest, and always a little unexpected.
A Morbier like that deserves respect.
