    I’m using stock images but I am always on the lookout for new cheeses to try whenever I go to the store. Credit to various cheese websites, resources, and sellers for the cheese images and cheese facts. If any of you know some cheeses that I haven’t done yet I would love some input!

    Here is your daily cheese facts: This cheese is made by Creekside Creamery. Washed rind, semi soft creamy cheese made in the Morbier style, not a blue cheese. Stunning line of vegetable ash through the center of the cheese adds so much visual interest. Mild, approachable, and a stunner on a cheese board.

    Also as a note: I post my daily cheese here as well as in my r/dailycheese subreddit.

  2. >Alpine Ash is modelled after the French Morbier. Traditionally made in the Alps in the winter months when cows produced less milk on a hay-only diet, the cheese makers of old would not have enough curd to entirely fill a cheese form with the morning’s curd.

    Morbier is made in the… Jura mountains, not in the Alps. Looks good, even if it looks like a copy of Morbier, but they got the name wrong.

    I had no idea Creekside made this! Yum! I know them for their raclette variety and the garlic Belper balls.
