Raclette Griffon Cheese
In keeping with his Swiss heritage, Mr. Fritz Kaiser is a master of Raclette cheese making. As such, the cheese factory produces a wide variety of raclette cheese.
Griffon Raclette is a semi-soft cheese, surface ripened with the renown Montreal beer, Griffon.
Along with the fruity and marked hazelnut aroma, the beer enhances a malty touch to the taste.
This is the classic cheese for the Swiss dish of "raclette".
The cheese's name originates from the French word ‘racler’ meaning ‘to scrape’, a reference to scraping the melted cheese from the wheel onto boiled potatoes.
200 grams of sliced cheese is the suggested amount per person for a raclette dinner. We suggest offering two to three different types or flavours of raclette.
