Reblochon Fermier.
Reblochon Fermier melts on your tongue with the silky warmth of Alpine cream, its paste yielding and supple beneath a delicate washed rind. Grassy and gently nutty, it whispers of high mountain meadows with subtle fruity undertones—never aggressive, always inviting. The aroma is mild and earthy, with that distinctive sweet-savory perfume of a rind kissed by brine and time.

The story
How it's made.
Why it tastes that way.
Reblochon derives its name from 'reblocher' (to pinch the cow's udder again), referring to a medieval practice where farmers withheld part of their milk from rent collectors, then milked the cows again for richer cream.
The fermier (farmhouse) version carries a green casein plaque, while laitier (dairy) carries a red one. AOC since 1958.

What's in a wedge.
A 100 g serving — about a finger-thick wedge. Daily values use the FDA 2020 reference of 2,000 kcal. Expect ±5% variation between wheels.
Serve, cut & store
Out of the fridge,
into its prime.
Guidance for washed-rind cheeses — general practice, not a per-wheel measurement.
Rest
Take it out about 1.5–2 h before serving — cold stiffens the fat and locks up the aromas; cool room temperature is when the flavour shows up.
Cut
Slice in wedges with the rind on — or for a very ripe wheel, take off the top and spoon.
Store
Wrap leftovers in cheese paper or wax paper — never cling film, which suffocates the rind — and keep them in the warmest part of the fridge.
Rule of thumb: the softer and riper, the longer it needs. Thick pieces need longer than thin — and don't leave cheese out much past two hours.
