Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Morbier (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a semi-soft cows' milk cheese of France named after the small village of Morbier in Franche-Comté.[1] It is ivory colored, soft and slightly elastic, and is immediately recognizable by the distinctive thin black layer separating it horizontally in the middle.[1] It has a yellowish, sticky rind.[2]
Description
Template:Refimprove section The aroma of Morbier cheese is mild, with a rich and creamy flavour.[3][4] It has a semblance to Raclette cheese in consistency.[5]
The Jura and Doubs versions both benefit from an Script error: No such module "Lang". (AOP), though other non-AOP Morbier exist on the market.[6]
Preparation
Traditionally, the cheese consists of a layer of evening milk curd and a layer of morning milk curd.[1] When making Comté, cheesemakers would end the day with leftover curd that was not enough for an entire cheese.[1] Thus, they would press the remaining evening curd into a mold, and spread ash over it to protect it overnight.[1] The following morning, the cheese would be topped with morning milk curd.[1] The layer of ash is left in place in between the layers of milk.[3]
Today, it is typically prepared in factories and larger dairy cooperatives from one batch of milk, with the traditional ash line replaced by edible commercial vegetable ash.[3][1][7]
