Morbier Cheese
Morbier is a semisoft, French cow’s milk cheese. It comes in wheels about 16 inches in diameter and 3 inches thick, with a layer of edible gray ash in the center. The ash separates the curd made from the morning milking from the curd made from the evening milking. One story about the origin of this ash layer is that a cheese was accidentally dropped on the floor between milkings. Morbier has an ivory interior and a grayish brown or slightly orange rind. It is named for a commune in the Jura where it was first made. Flavor ranges from mild to fairly strong.
i *love* caerphilly, and have yet to find a place at home that sells it.
double gloucester is pretty high on my list too.
yum.
Did you see your cheese pr0n icon in my LJ???
Yay! Thank you thank you thank you for my pretty cheese GIF!
I think I might want the smoked applewood pic removed – while a tasty cheese, the graphic for it is less clean and tidy than the other 4. I bet you feel the same way about it.
Also, that would give me room to add the names of the cheeses in between in pretty fonts!
