Its been years since I seen a good Morbier.

I had some domestic cheeses that claimed to be morbier but they where pretty bad.

The local cheese shop said  the don't have any.

Is there some kind of shortage? Embargo?

I think that depends where you are located ... if in France I'd say look harder ;)

 

If in a country that does not allow import of unpasteurized cheese maybe you will never get a proper one ...

 

I could go on, but maybe you give me a hint first.

I found french Morbier  online so its sold in the US.

I used to be able to find it at a number of local retailers.

Now nothing.

You would have to share where you are located, clearly; in order for anyone to offer further assistance...however, here in Toronto there are numerous cheese shops that sell Morbier (and even some mass 'supermarkets').

Maybe the dollar/euro conversion rate made it too expensive when the euro was really high and your stores dropped it... now that the Euro is cheaper again, if you ask, maybe they'll bring it back.  Markets for such stuff are often price sensitive... That which sells for $12/lb sits on the shelf at $20.

I'm pretty sure I saw some French Morbier at Whole Foods a couple of weeks ago. 

I was actually looking for some Mobay, the Morbier-inspired goat and sheep cheese from Wisconsin, but didn't find it :(!

@Paul Fink, have you checked with Surdyk's? I haven't been there in a few years, but they used to have an excellent selection of cheeses.
