History and Origin of Morbier Cheese

Morbier cheese was created by farmers in the Jura village of Morbier near Morez in the 19th century. At that time, when there was not enough milk to make a full wheel of Comté , the curds were left to rest overnight and covered with soot to prevent a crust from forming and to repel insects. The next day, another layer of curds was added and the two parts were joined together, forming a larger wheel of cheese.

This cheese was originally preserved by the mountain people for their own consumption during the winter. Today, the characteristic ash line that divides the cheese is purely decorative, maintaining its visual essence and history.
