RECIPES

Using Reblochonnade Pans

Note: for these recipes, use the large round pans, placing one pan on each cooking element.

Reblochon Cheese:

A little background...

Reblochon cheese was first made in the 13th century in the Thones Valley of France's Savoy region. Farmers of that time rented their mountain pastures and gave the landowner a proportion of the milk they produced as rent. On days when the owner came to measure production, farmers milked their cows incompletely in order to pay less rent. Once the landowner had gone, they would then finish milking. Milk from this second milking ("re-blocher" means "to pinch a cow's udder again") came eventually to be known for its use in an excellent cheese, Reblochon. Appellation d'origine contrôlee Of the more than 300 cheeses made in France today, only 38 have the coveted Appellation d'origine contrôlee designation. The AOC designation guarantees that a cheese is produced at specific sites following traditional farming, production and aging methods. Reblochon de Savoie cheese is the product of time-honoured tradition, sound practices and local wisdom.

What Is Reblochon Cheese Like?

• Reblochon, fruitier is made year-round in the Savoy using milk produced within the AOC zone. It is identified by use of a red casein (a milk component) tag pressed into the face of the cheese.

• Reblochon, fermier is made exclusively on farms in the winter and mountain pastures in the summer. Twice a day immediately after milking, producers make this traditional cheese using only the milk from their own herds. This type of cheese bears a green casein tag. Here are some recipes to make using your Tour à Fromages®. Reblochon de Savoie cheese goes well with a wide range of foods, making for endless possible combinations and culinary creations. You are limited only by your imagination!

RECIPPE OF REBLOCHONNADE

Serves 6

Ingredients: 2 Reblochon de Savoie cheeses; 12 potatoes; variety of cold meats (e.g., cured raw ham, smoked ham, dried meats, Grisons meat, sausage); side dishes as desired (cocktail onions, pickles/ chutneys, salad, etc.). Cook the potatoes in their skins and then place them on the upper glass tray in a heat-resistant dish containing enough water to cover the bottom. Slice the Reblochon cheese in two horizontally. Place one piece in each large round pan with the cut side (fl esh of the cheese) facing up. Put the pan on the element and allow the cheese to heat for several minutes. Remove the pan and use a spoon to scoop the melted portion of the Reblochon onto a plate of peeled cooked potatoes. Return the pan to heat and continue melting the remaining cheese. Serve with cured raw ham, dried meat, sausage, salad, cocktail onions and pickles. Reblochon cheese goes well with a dry white Savoy wine (consume with moderation).
