Description Reblochon de Savoie Petit (AOP) 45+ 240 grams
The Reblochon de Savoie is an absolute great in French cheese culture. According to a centuries-old tradition, this small, round cheese is produced exclusively in the mountainous Haute-Savoie from raw milk. It is characterized by a supple, velvety ivory-colored paste and a thin, orange-yellow rind with a fine layer of white mold. The taste is beautifully complex: deliciously creamy and nutty, with subtle, farm-like undertones and the scent of the mountains. An indispensable ingredient for authentic Alpine dishes!

Indispensable in the Tartiflette
Although the Reblochon de Savoie tastes fantastic on a robust cheese board combined with a fruity red wine (such as a Beaujolais) or a white Savoie wine, its true calling is the hot kitchen. The fantastic melting properties make this the star ingredient of the famous French 'Tartiflette'.
In this classic winter sports dish, the Reblochon is placed over a steaming oven dish full of potato slices, bacon, onions and a dash of white wine, after which it melts in the oven into a golden brown, savory treat. The washed rind can simply be eaten; it gives the dish extra depth and character.

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Reblochon
What does the colored dot (pastille) in the rind mean?
During production, each Reblochon is given a colored casein seal pressed into the rind to guarantee its origin. A green seal means 'fermier' (made on the farm from their own milk), a red seal stands for 'laitier' or 'fruitier' (made in a cooperative). The seal is fully edible.
Can you eat the rind of the Reblochon?
Yes, the washed rind is fully edible. In fact, the rind contributes to the specific, earthy aroma of the cheese and is always melted along when making a Tartiflette.
Is Reblochon safe during pregnancy?
No. Authentic Reblochon de Savoie (AOP) is made from unpasteurized, raw cow's milk ('au lait cru'). Pregnant women are strongly advised not to eat raw milk cheeses.
Is the cheese suitable for vegetarians?
No, animal rennet is used in the production of this traditional French cheese. Therefore, the Reblochon does not fit within a strict vegetarian diet.
