Description
Morbier was behind the creation of Jean Perrin's cheese dairy in January 1965. Produced in strict keeping with tradition, it is cellar-refined for between 45 and 130 days to create a creamy, ivory-colored texture, and a range of flavors from soft and creamy to those with more character for bolder cheese lovers.
