About Morbier

Morbier is a semi-soft Cow Milk Cheese named after the village of Morbier in France. It is soft and elastic, and recognizable by a thin black layer in the middle.

The aroma of Morbier is strong, but the flavor is rich and creamy, with a slightly bitter aftertaste.

Go Local

Pairing locally is a great way to learn more about wine and cheese.

Examples:

• Goat cheese from Loire is great with Sauvignon Blanc from Loire.
• Strong Italian Gorgonzola pairs perfectly with Italian Barolo.
• Spanish Manchego is gorgeous with Spanish Rioja.
• Munster from Alsace is great with Gewürztraminer from Alsace.
