Return of Morbier and Parrano!!

Very exciting cheese news!

Parrano has been out for months and is back in stock at Kirkwood! It will get to Forsyth later today and other stores next week.

Even MORE exciting, Morbier is back in Missouri! We were unsure if this amazing washed rind cheese would ever come back. We were told it was a victim of the pandemic and was not being produced any longer. Thankfully the rumors were untrue!! As far as availability, same as Parrano.

Parrano...$22.99/lb
Blending the smooth, creamy texture of a Gouda with the nutty flavors of a Parmesan, Parrano® Originale adds something special to your cheese plate. Full of flavor yet still approachable, this cheese is a must have for entertaining, whether it’s a happy hour at home or a big celebration. Pairs well with: Fig Jam, Prosciutto, Marinated Artichokes, Roaster Peppers and a Crisp Lager or Spicy Syrah  

Morbier...$24.99
An aromatic and surprisingly mild French cow's milk AOC cheese defined by the dark vein of vegetable ash streaking through it middle. Today, the ash is purely decorative, a nod to the method by which Morbier was once produced in Franche-Comté. Traditionally, the evening's fresh curds were sprinkled with ash to prevent the formation of a rind overnight. The next morning, new curds were laid upon the thin layer of ash to finish off the wheel. The wheel was then washed and rubbed by hand, forming a rind to protect the rich, creamy interior and to create a delectably stinky aroma. Morbier, which is aged for at least 60 days, pleasantly confounds expectations. Contrary to its smell, Morbier has a mild taste and leaves a wonderful, nutty aftertaste. Morbier is excellent served with Gewürztraminer or Pinot Noir.
