French Dairy, Petit Reblochon de Savoie Cheese AOC

Near to Expiry: November 13, 2024

Reblochon was the first cheese of the Savoie region to be granted the AOC certification, in 1958. The cheese is made by mixing the milks of three different breeds of cow : abondance, tarine, and montbéliarde. The birth of this fascinating cheese is due to the ingenuity of the Savoie herdsmen. In the 13th century, the farmers were completely dependent on landowners who insisted that all the herd’s milk were their property. At milking time, the herdsmen did not quite complete the milking. After the controllers had left, the herdsmen finished the milking. They “re-blochaient”. From this, the cheese was named Reblochon, made with the creamy milk of second milking.
