The first wheels of Morbier ever produced were made from milk leftover from Gruyere de Comte production. The cheesemaker would press the leftover curd from the evening production of Comte into a mold and cover it with a thin layer of ash to prevent it from both drying out and attracting flies. The next day, he would add the leftover morning curd on top of the ash. The result is a two-layered semi-soft cheese with a complex fruity flavor and a slight tang. The two layers of the cheese have slightly different flavors, with the layer from the evening milking tasting fruitier than that from the morning milking. The ash not only separates the two layers of the cheese; it also serves an aesthetic purpose as it makes a dramatic presentation. Morbier is made using pasteurized cow's milk and has a complex, bold flavor. Its yellow-ivory interior has a smooth texture, wrapped inside a creamy-brown crust. This cheese pairs well with French Saucisson or is great on a sandwich made with a crusty bread. It also melts beautifully.

  • Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
  • Photo depicts whole 12 lb. form of cheese.
  • We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.
  • Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.

One of the Best!
This cheese is one of my all-time favorites, and I get it every time I order cheese. The mixture of the two layers of different flavors will take any cheese lover to a different world!

Creamy but a little bland
This was a little disappointing compared to what we've had in France. Still very good, just not the flavor I expected.

The perfect gift
We sent a basket of individually selected cheeses to my brother-in-law for Christmas. He really appreciates fine cheese. He was thrilled with the selection. Everything arrived in excellent condition. We were happy to find a gift that he would enjoy as he is difficult to shop for.

A LITTLE "FUNKY" AT FIRST I WOULDN'T REALLY CALL IT FRUITY BUT I MIGHT ORDER IT AGAIN

Fantastic Cheese
I was a little apprehensive about the ash in this cheese but I didn't notice it at all. What a great cheese. I did think I noticed a difference in the two halves- not extreme, just interesting. It is sweet, very smooth and has a wonderful slight crystalline crunch in the rind. I will definitely be purchasing this cheese again.

Morbier is magnificent
Have had this cheese for about five years now, but this summer in Nice bought some from a cheeseshop that only sold cheeses from the Jura region, magnificent! The cheese purchased from igourmet was equally magnificent
