Petit Reblochon De Savoie au lait cru / Raw milk Reblochon

240 g

Reblochon cheese traditionally is made from full-cream unpasteurised milk, a raw cow's milk from 3 mountain breeds: Abondance, Tarine and Montbéliarde, reared in traditional pastures with grass and hay as the main source of feed. It is smear-ripened, with a fine velvety rind that is soft washed. Aged from 6 weeks, measures 9 cm in diameter and thickness of 3 cm.

This ivory-colored cheese is an uncooked cheese that is lightly pressed. It has smooth and supple texture and a fruity nutty taste with subtle frothy flavor that remains in mouth after its soft and uniform center has been enjoyed.

It originated from the region of Haute-Savoie in France with a protected designation of origin. Derived from the French word "reblocher" meaning "to remilk the cows", a practice during the thirteenth century where herdsmen held the first milking of the cow to avoid taxes and the second milking resulted in a creamy milk rich in fat, which was then used to make Reblochon.
