Reblochon cheese comes from the extra creamy milk that can be pinched from the udders after the cow has already been milked once. It comes from an ancient tradition where French lords would tax peasants based on the first yield of milk, so peasants began milking the cows incompletely getting the rest after their taxes had been paid. The peasants would take this extra creamy milk and make this semi-soft washed rind cheese. It tastes like a mild, buttery whipped cream.

Tartiflette is made by melting a wheel of Reblochon over scalloped or mashed potatoes with caramelized chopped onion and fried lardons mixed up in them.
