About Reblochon Cheese

Reblochon is a traditional French cheese from the Alpine region of Savoie. It has a soft, velvety texture and a mild, nutty flavor with a hint of earthiness. The cheese melts beautifully, making it perfect for cooking or enjoying on a cheeseboard. Its creamy interior contrasts with its washed rind, which gives it a subtle aroma and rich depth of taste.

Pairings

Reblochon pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, potatoes, and cured meats. It’s the star ingredient in the famous French dish tartiflette, where it’s melted over potatoes, onions, and bacon. It also goes well with white wines like Chardonnay or light reds such as Pinot Noir.

Funfact:Reblochon was originally created by farmers who secretly held back part of their milk during tax inspections. After the collectors left, they “re-milked” their cows (re-blocher in French), producing richer milk that they used to make this creamy, flavorful cheese. Browse All Cheeses →
