If cream is also added during production, it takes the name reblec de crama,[3] which means 'cream reblec' in Valdôtain dialect.
Etymology
The name comes from the Valdôtain dialect term reblètsé, meaning to empty the cows' teats after milking, reiterative of the verb blètsé, meaning 'to milk'.[4]
Reblec follows the same etymology as Reblochon.
Production and consumption
Reblec is mainly produced in the Aosta Valley and it can be consumed as early as 12 hours after it is made.
It is also served as a dessert, topped with sugar, cinnamon or with a dusting of chocolate.
