France- Tartiflette

FRANCE- Tartiflette

France dubbed The Country of Love, is home to what is considered the most romantic place on earth, Paris. However, in mountainous Pyreness in southern France, Tartiflette is a dish best enjoyed on a cold day after coming in from the snow while still bundled in your winter coats. It combines favourites such as potatoes, bacon and cheese into a warm wonderfully savory dish. 

Reblochon is characterized by its nutty taste that remains in your mouth. It is considered an essential ingredient in Tartiflette.
