AOP MORBIER

Union for the defense of this PDO cheese. 2,000 producers, 50 workshops, 10 ripeners. Annual official competition in August.

Based in Poligny, the Morbier PDO is an organization that defends and promotes Morbier PDO. This cheese, made from raw cow's milk, is distinguished by its famous black streak, a unique characteristic that gives it its charm. It is produced by some 50 manufacturers, a dozen ripeners and 45 cheese dairies in the Jura, Doubs, parts of the Ain and Saône-et-Loire regions. Two thousand farmers of the Montbéliarde and Simmental breeds also contribute to the production of Morbier AOP. It's the fruit of know-how handed down from generation to generation. This exceptional cheese offers a wide range of delicate, balanced flavors, with creamy, yoghurt or fruity lactic aromas. It's perfect for enriching your cheese platter or enhancing your recipes. What's more, thanks to its versatility in the kitchen, it goes well with many dishes such as salads, pastas, pizzas, tarts and croque-monsieurs. On the Morbier AOP website, you'll find a wide range of recipes to please yourself or your guests. This Protected Designation of Origin product also goes well with fruit or a Jura white wine. The organization has also developed fun walking trails in the heart of the Haut-Doubs region, as well as trails and other activities to help you get to know this famous cheese.
