September: Cheese of the Month
Prefere de Fromi (Previously named Reblochon)
Reblochon is a
soft washed-rind cheese made from cow’s
milk. The cow breeds best for producing the
milk needed for this cheese are the
Abondance, Tarentaise and the Montbéliarde.
Produced from the day’s second milking, this
cheese measures 14 cm across and 3–4 cm
thick, has a soft centre with a washed rind
and weighs an average of 450g. As proof of
its being well-aged in an airy cellar, the
rind of this cheese is covered with a fine
white mould. The optimal period to savour
this cheese is between May and September
after it has been aged six to eight weeks.
It is also excellent from March to December.
Reblochon has a nutty taste that remains in
mouth after its soft and uniform centre has
been enjoyed. It is an essential ingredient
of tartiflette, a Savoyard gratin made from
potatoes, cream, onions, and ham.
