What makes Reblochon so special?

-

It is made from whole, unpasteuri­sed milk and must meet rigorous standards to earn the coveted PDO (Protected Designatio­n of Origin) recognitio­n.

It is mountain cheese with a soft washed-rind and smear ripened mountain cheese. A ripe cheese may weigh between 450-500g. It is known for its lasting nutty taste.

Two types of Reblochon are produced: Reblochon Fermier (green tag) made on the farms in the Thônes valley area and Reblochon Fruitier (red tag) made in the co-ops or factories in Savoie.

It is best enjoyed melted with potatoes, cold, dry and grilled meats, and sausages.
