Reblochon
Sold out, more expected soon
The existence of the Reblochon cheese was a well-kept secret within the Haute-Savoie for many years. The cheese was made from milk which was withheld (lait de rebloche) when the tax collectors came to check the milk yields. The farmers did not milk the cows dry. They then finished the milking after the inspectors had gone. This milk was made into a cheese for home use.
A true Reblochon is an AOC cheese and is made with raw milk. This type of cheese is very hard to get into the US, so we have the best next thing. A Reblochon-type Tomme cheese made by the same Fromagerie that makes the AOC Reblochon. Our 'Reblochon' is made with pasteurized cow's milk and is a pinkish-gray discs with a washed...
