Morbier Secret de Scey 14 lb

Special order. 2 week lead time.

Secret de Scey has a natural brine washed-rind and is matured for a minimum of four months. As it matures the cheese develops an ivory-colored semi-soft interior and mild creamy flavor. Changes to the Appellation d’Origine Controlee (AOC) governing the making of Morbier cheese in France mean that cheese made from pasteurized milk can no longer be called Morbier. Morbier must be made from unpasteurized milk. This change has led to the creation of Secret de Scey, a cheese made to the same recipe as Morbier, only from pasteurized milk. Historically made on the farm from two milkings, the morning’s milk would be processed (curdled, drained, and set) then a layer of ash and salt would be applied to the top of the fresh curd to stop it from drying out. The process would be repeated for the second of the day’s milkings, with the curd from the second milking used to top the first.
