Reblochon cheese originates from the picturesque region of Haute Savoy in the French Alps. Its story is intertwined with the tradition of Alpine dairy farming. In the 14th century, farmers in this region paid taxes based on the milk produced by their cows. To pay fewer taxes, they would only partially milk the cows when the tax collectors came. After the officials left, the farmers would “re-blocher” or milk the cows again, collecting the richer milk left behind. This high-fat milk was then used to create the creamy, flavorful Reblochon cheese.
Today, the tradition lives on as local farmers continue to produce Reblochon using raw cow’s milk. The cheese is known for its distinctive washed rind, which gives it a robust flavor and a creamy texture. Haute Savoy’s unique climate and lush Alpine pastures contribute to the exceptional quality of the milk, making Reblochon cheese a true reflection of the region’s natural bounty and time-honored traditions.
