{"product_id":"morbier","title":"Morbier","description":"\u003cp\u003eMade in the high Jura mountains, this cheese was originally made by the farmers of the Comte region for their own consumption as it was ready much more quickly than the huge wheels of Comte. The curd from the morning milk was ladled into the moulds and a layer of wood ash sprinkled on top to prevent a skin from forming and to protect the cheese from insects. The curds from the evening milking where then put on top at the end of the day. The cheeses were washed with brine to develop the characteristic orange, slightly sticky rind and the pungent aroma that we associate with Morbier. Today the layer of ash is purely decorative in tribute to the traditional methods employed by the original dairy farmers who created this cheese. Despite its aroma, Morbier is surprisingly mild with a rich fruity taste and a supple texture. Delicious on the cheeseboard it also melts beautifully. The original farmers would put the cheese beside the open fire and when the surface had begun to melt, they would scrape it on to boiled potatoes. A delicious fireside picnic!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Fine Cheese Co.","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":52435453673736,"sku":"CCSF031","price":8.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"500g","offer_id":52435453640968,"sku":"CCSF031","price":16.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":52435453608200,"sku":"CCSF031","price":33.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/1049\/8568\/files\/fcc-morbier_b.jpg?v=1755856179","url":"https:\/\/finecheese.pro\/products\/morbier","provider":"The Fine Cheese Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
