A French Post

I would like to discuss something French in this post to give you a taste of what I'm immersed in. At a party while speaking with a French guy and girl, I asked what their favorite kinds of cheeses are. The guy answered Camembert. Not surprising as this cheese is delicious and world known. 
The girl answered Morbier for its soft texture, and mild yet delicious taste. The stripe of ash in the middle makes this cheese easily distinguishable when perusing the never-ending cheese aisle. Having never heard of or tasted this Morbier cheese, I was intrigued. At the first opportunity I got, I bought some Morbier (pronounced "more-byay) and fresh bread, of course. And yes, it is delicious. 


Please keep in mind, I like cheese. If you do not like cheese, or trying new things, you probably won't like Morbier. Here's a photo to give your taste buds an idea of what I'm talking about...


Mmm sweet cheesiness...

Thank you Robin @ Good for the Palate for this photo!


Ash in the cheese may sound un-appealing, but I assure you, French cheese makers got this craft down.
