Lamballe is a town and commune of north-western France, in the département of Côtes-d'Armor, on the Gouessant 13 miles ESE of Saint-Brieuc by rail. Pop. (1906) 4347.
Lamballe was the capital of the territory of the counts of Penthièvre, who in 1569 were made dukes.
La Noue, the famous Huguenot leader, was mortally wounded in 1591 in the siege of the castle, which was dismantled in 1626 by Richelieu. The last Duke of Penthievre granted his son Louis the title Prince of Lamballe. The Prince de Lamballe married Marie Therese de Savoie-Carignan and she took the title Princesse de Lamballe. The Princesse lived with her father-in-law after the early death of her husband. She was a close friend of Queen Marie Antoinette and one of the most famous victims of the French Revolution. The title died with her in 1792.
I have looked and can find nothing related to food, wines or cheeses with the names Lamballe. Lamballe may be used as a brand name on some food item from that region.

As the other two people said, it's a place in France.
Regarding food, you can find recipes for Lamballe trout...which means a trout made with ingredients commonly used in that region. I'm pretty lazy to translate the page from french, but here's a link to one recipe.
