| Le Chablochon, created by Fruitières Chabert, is a pasteurized, soft-ripened, washed-rind cheese from Savoie, France, designed as a milder, exportable alternative to raw-milk Reblochon. Made with milk from regionally-adapted Montbéliarde, Abondance, and Tarine cows, it reflects the alpine terroir through its buttery, grassy flavor and melt-in-the-mouth texture. The cheese undergoes careful pasteurization, acidification, traditional affinage, and annatto-based rind development. Nutrient-dense and gluten-free, it is widely used in dishes like Tartiflette and pairs well with local wines, beer, and cider, offering broad market appeal and accessibility. | |
