Reblochon, a unpasteurised cow cheese, was first produced in the Thones and Arly valleys.The name derives from the word "reblocher" which when literally translated means "to pinch a cows udder again" This refers to the practice of of holding back some of the milk from the first milking. During the 14th century, the landowners would tax the mountain farmers according to the amount of milk their herds produced.The farmers would therefore not fully milk the cows until after the landowners had measured the yield. The milk that remains is much richer, and was traditionally used by the dairymaids to make their own cheeses.
As far as I know, Reblochon is not available in the United States as it is unpasteurised and has not been sufficiently aged to pass strict US import laws. If you ever go to France, you must try it !
It is a wonderful cheese best enjoyed with a light red wine.
