REBLOCHON

nom

 

Lait de Vache
Forme: Rond
Pâte: Pressée non cuite
Poids: 240 g à 280 g
Saison: Toute l'année
Affinage: 2 à 4 semaines
Vin: Vins blancs de Savoie ou Pommard

Le Roblochon est le premier fromage de Savoie à avoir obtenu l'AOC, en 1958 selon un texte initial, il se compose d'un mélange de 3 laits provenant des 3 races de vache qui lui permet de revendiquer l'AOC : abondance, tarine et montbéliarde Le Reblochon est né de l'ingéniosité des bergers savoyards. Au XIII éme siécle, ils dépendaient des grands propriétaires à qui il devaient remettre le produit de la traite. Pour garder un peu de lait , ils ne trayaient pas complétement leurs bêtes. Ce n'est qu'aprés le départ des régisseurs qu'ils recueillaient le reste du lait: ils "re-blochaient". D'où le nom dérivée du Reblochon fabriqué avec ce lait trés riche en crême, de seconde traite. Il est placé en hâloir pour le séchage et y sera retourné tous les 2 jours et lavé au petit lait. C'est au cours de cette étape qu'il se parera d'une croûte jaune safran recouverte d'une fine mousse blanche. Sa saveur fine et noisettée contraste parfois avec la forte odeur de cave qui se dégage du reblochon. Crémeux, le reblochon est souvent relevé par des arômes herbacés. La pâte ivoire est d'une consistance onctueuse et souple.

Appromimately 1.772455923 (thanks excel). If you get the exact number, maybe there is a nobel prize out there for you. And the award is tax free.

Since Pi is an infinitesimal number there is no exact square root, just as there is no exact number for Pi.

However we can get close enough for government work, or any other for that matter.

I think that, in the final analysis, the answer to this question, like every question at this website, somehow involves the need to eliminate the death tax.

Hmmm. I think you may have encountered a problem in series and sequences. I seem to remember sqrt(pi) being expressible as a series.

Pi is an irrational (and transcendental) number, so it is impossible to express it as a fraction or a finite decimal. If you can be more specific as to what you're looking for . . .

How 'bout Sweet Potato Pi, that's a root, of something.

Hey, why don't you ask a Blonde (with black roots)? :-)

Hey! I'm a mathematician (at least I play one on TV).

Actually, the series I was thinking of gives (pi^2)/6. There really is no answer to "what is the square root of pi". The only interesting place that that number shows up is in the formula for the Bell Curve.

North Pole. No kidding! There's a 1-1 correspondence between all points on the infinite plane and all points on the surface of a sphere -- minus the North Pole. It's infinity.

For all practical purposes Pi = 3.14

A closer practical number is 22/7 =3.1428571

Square root of 3.14 =1.772

Square root of 3.1428571 = 1.7728105

It would be unusual to need it any closer than either of the above.

The answer depends upon what the meaning of is is (Can't we ever have a threat without bringing up that Scumbag).

If you want a practical answer for a real world application, pick one of the above numbers to the accuracy desired.

If you want the mathematically correct and exact answer, then the answer is "square root of pi".

I saw a lecture recently where they talked about normed spaces. There, you could make pi many different things depending on the norm. Could be anything from 3 to 8. Lucky we don't live in those worlds, though.

You of course realize that "close enough for government work" would also include Pi denial. What Pi? ...never happened.

Nah. I believe that would be like getting to the edge of the earth. It is pretty likely that the universe is just a 4-dimensional "sphere".

Roblochon is the first cheese of Savoy to have obtained the AOC, in 1958 according to an initial text, it is composed of a mixture of 3 milks coming from the 3 races from cow which enables him to assert the AOC: abundance, tarine and montbéliarde Reblochon was born from the ingeniousness of the Savoyard shepherds. With the XIII 3rd siécle, they depended on the great landowners to whom it were to give the product of the draft. To keep a little milk, they did not milk their animals complétement. It is only aprés the departure of the managers whom they collected the remainder of milk: they " Re-blochaient ". From where the name derived from Reblochon manufactured with this milk trés rich in crême, from second draft. It is placed to hâloir some for drying and there will be gone back every 2 days and will be washed with the whey. It is during this stage that it will avoid of a yellow crust saffron covered with a fine white foam. Its fine and noisettée savour contrast sometimes with the strong odor of cellar which emerges from the reblochon. Crémeux, the reblochon is often raised by herbaceous flavours. The paste ivory is of a consistent and flexible consistency.

Actually, it is not quite accurate. It is actually the square root of Pi to the first 1000 places, taken to 1000 places, but should be close enough for most calculations.
