Morbier has a line of ash running through the middle of the cheese. Originally this line of ash would separate and protect the curds of the morning milking until the curds of the evening milking could be brought in and placed on top of the bottom layer. Morbier has a supple texture, with fruity and grassy aromas and flavors.

Marcel Petite
After WWII, Marcel Petite bought an unused munitions fort from the French Government because he felt that it would be the best environment for aging the 70lb wheels of French Gruyère known as Comté. Our first tastes of the Comté in the humid, medieval, cavernous fort brought forth such refined, delicate, and long lasting flavors that we were hooked. After much trust-building with Philipe and Claude, we are able to bring in wheels of Comté from the fruitières that we have found to suit the palate of our customers.
