Much like the famous Reblochon AOC, Fromage ΒΊ6 is a semi-soft, washed-rind and smear-ripened mountain cheese that originated in the ThΓ΄nes region of Haute-Savoie in France. It is a lightly pressed, uncooked cheese, made from full-cream pasteurised milk.
Our Fromage ΒΊ6Β Β features a fine velvety rind, varying from yellow to orange in colour. The close textured pate is very smooth, supple and ivory in colour.Β The cheese discs are matured for at least two weeks, during which the cheese develops an edible light beige crust and buttery dough.Β The cheese has a slight scent of the cellar and a mild fruity taste with an intense nutty aftertaste. Its delicate and subtle flavours go well with a glass of wine.Β Fromage ΒΊ6 is excellent on the cheeseboard or can be melted on baked potatoes. Reblochon also features as a classic ingredient in one of the Alps' best-loved dishes, the Tartiflette.
AllΒ cheeses are made with vegetable rennet,Β milkΒ and have no other additives
I'm sure it does taste delicious in a sandwich. But it is just great as it is. I was told it's a bit like Gruyère. It's so much more delicious! A real pleasure!
