In La Clusaz, Reblochon isn’t just cheese — it’s part of our heritage. A symbol of local tradition and craftsmanship, it’s a product passed down through generations. Whether you find it at the market, melted into a tartiflette, or maturing in a farm cellar, it’s a true taste of the mountains.
Let us take you on a journey to discover Reblochon : the different types, how it’s made, where to buy it, how to taste it, and where to meet the people who bring it to life.
This is the favorite of cheese lovers. Made directly on the farm from raw milk produced by a single herd and processed immediately after milking, farmhouse Reblochon has a green seal. It's handmade using traditional tools and techniques, giving it a more intense flavor and creamy texture.
This one is produced in dairies from pasteurized or thermized milk collected from several farms. It bears a red seal and offers a more standardized, mild flavor — ideal for discovering Reblochon but with less character.
We’re not hiding our bias — farmhouse Reblochon has our heart. Its nutty notes, silky texture, and mountain flavor are unbeatable.
Local markets
Every Monday morning in the church square, the village market is a must. Local producers sell seasonal goods — and yes, you can often find Reblochon straight from the farm, freshly aged and bursting with flavor.
Shops and delis in the village
No need to look far : Reblochon is available everywhere in La Clusaz. Grocery stores, butchers, and cheese shops all stock it — often in both farmhouse and dairy varieties.

From the farm : visit Ferme des Corbassières

A gourmet experience right at the source.
Telltale signs :
The AOP label :
Whether it’s farmhouse (green label) or dairy (red label), a true Reblochon must carry the AOP Reblochon de Savoie designation. It’s the guarantee that strict production standards have been followed — from the cow to the aging process.
Reblochon seasonality
While it’s made year-round, Reblochon is at its best from May to October, when the cows graze on alpine pastures and their milk becomes richer and more aromatic.
Flavor through the seasons
In summer, Reblochon develops herbal, complex flavors. In winter, it’s milder — perfect for comfort dishes like tartiflette or croziflette.
