What is a Reblochonnade?
Reblochonnade is a convivial dish originating from the French Alps, particularly from the Savoie region. This delicacy is prepared with Reblochon cheese, a creamy and melting cheese that comes from the farms of the Savoyard mountains. The principle of Reblochonnade is simple: each guest melts a piece of Reblochon under a heat source, traditionally on a brazier or a raclette machine.
This tasty cheese is usually accompanied by potatoes, cold cuts and green salad, creating a perfect combination of flavors and textures. Reblochonnade is often served at winter parties, and its convivial side makes it a must for meals with friends.
What is the difference between a Tartiflette and a Reblochonnade?
Although tartiflette and reblochonnade share the same iconic cheese, there are notable differences between these two Savoyard dishes:
-
Preparation :
- Tartiflette is a baked dish where potatoes are sliced and mixed with onions, crème fraîche and bacon before being topped with Reblochon cheese and gratinated until golden brown.
- Reblochonnade , on the other hand, is prepared at the table. Each guest melts their cheese using a device, which creates an interactive and festive atmosphere.
-
Presentation :
- Tartiflette is served on a plate, while reblochonnade is served individually, with everyone personalizing their portion according to their tastes.
-
Atmosphere :
- Reblochonnade promotes a convivial meal where people share and chat around the table, while tartiflette is often considered a more formal dish.
