reblochon
Reblochon is a semi-soft cheese from the Savoie region in the French Alps. Made from unpasteurized cow's milk, it has a creamy texture and a washed rind, which gives it a distinctive orange color. The cheese is known for its rich, nutty flavor, making it a popular choice for both cooking and cheese boards.
Traditionally, Reblochon was produced by farmers in the Alpine valleys. The name comes from the French word "reblocher," meaning to "re-buckle," referring to the practice of milking cows twice to obtain richer milk. Today, it is enjoyed worldwide, often used in dishes like tartiflette.
