Reblochon

Awarded AOP status in 1958, this semi-soft washed-rind cheese from the Savoie Alps uses 100% raw cow's milk from local breeds. Its name stems from the French 'reblocher' (to milk again), referencing a medieval practice of secret second milkings. Reblochon is the essential ingredient in tartiflette, the iconic Savoyard potato gratin, where its high 45% fat content ensures a luscious, golden crust.
