  "text": "‘Morbier’ is a cow’s milk cheese weighing 5 to 8 kg.\n‘Morbier’ is a cheese which is recognisable by a horizontal, central black line which runs through the whole slice like a weld. The black line is obtained solely by coating vegetable carbon on the side of one of the loaves of curds before pressing. With the cheese marked in the centre by this famous black line, its paste is homogeneous in colour from ivory to pale yellow with frequently a number of scattered openings.\nThe taste is clear with hints of milk, caramel, vanilla and fruit. With ageing, the aromatic range becomes enriched by roasted, spicy and vegetable nuances.",
