What Is Tartiflette

Tartiflette is a traditional French dish from the region of Savoy. Main ingredients of it are potatoes, onions, bacon and Reblochon cheese.

Tartiflette was first introduced to public in 1980, where it began to appear in the menus of restaurants in the ski stations. Flavorful, comforting and so delicious, Tartiflette was a perfect meal after a day of skiing.

Traditionally, Tartiflette was made with Reblochon cheese which is a soft washed-rind cheese made with a raw cow's milk. It has a distinctive flavor (one might call it "stinky") and its production takes place in Savoy.

To promote the sales of Reblochon,Le Syndicat Interprofessionnel du Reblochonintroduced a dish where Reblochon would be the star of the recipe.

That being said, when I was shopping for the ingredients for this recipe, I couldn't find Reblochon. Even Whole Foods didn't carry it and the salesperson rolled his eyes when my husband mentioned Reblochon.

So, I decided to go with my favorite Double Cream Brie, which has also a fruity and nutty flavor and can be a good substitute to Reblochon.

What Are Some Other Reblochon Alternatives

Any type of soft melting cheese preferably from the Savoy can be a good replacement for Reblochon. Here are my suggestions:

• Raclette;
• Camembert;
• Camembert + Gruyere. The first one will give the melt and second one - a distinctive flavor;
• Triple Cream Brie.
