Here's what you need to know about the nutrition in this recipe and Reblochon cheese to be an expert!
It's from France!
It's cow's milk.
The name came from the milking technique which holds back a little milk. It literally means, to pinch a cow's udder again!
Enjoy the idea of milking (lol) a landowner like a 13th century french, Savoie herdsmen who made this cheese from the milk they kept behind from the system of bartering goods for rent.
