Reblochon is known for winter tartiflette, but the artisanal comes into its own in the summer months as the cheese is produced with milk from cows that have been grazing in fresh grass.

The below salad with breaded Reblochon captures the fresh nutty and herbal flavours of the cheese, highlighted by its creamy consistency when cooked!
