Specifications

In the 13th century, farmers in the valley of Thones played a trick to pay less rent: The farmers would not fully milk the cows when the controller was due to arrive, and "reblochaient" (pinch the udder again) after he left. The milk that remained was much richer and better for making cheese, hence the name Reblochon.
It is produced on family farms, so when spring comes, the whole family goes to pasture twice daily with equipment to manually produce the Reblochon.
Reblochon spends a week in a dry area where it is turned every day and its rind is washed. It is during maturing that the texture becomes smooth and acquires a nutty taste.
When the pasture time arrives the cows wear big decorative bells!
