Montboissié is a semi-soft cow’s milk cheese named after the small village of Morbier in Franche-Comté. The cheese has an ivory color, and it is a bit soft and fairly elastic. It immediately gets identified because of its black layer of tasteless ash, which separates horizontally in the middle. While it is for decorative purposes only, it represents the tradition in the 19th century of separating the milk from the morning milking and from the milk from the afternoon milking. The cheese takes about 45 days to 3 months for full maturation with yellowish, moist and leathery rind. Together with 45% fat, it is protected by AOC designation. Morbier has a rich and creamy flavor with a hint of fruit and a nutty finish.
