Raclette

Raclette is the cheese of legend, based on the story of a man from Valais by the name of Leon. One cold day, with food scarce in the open pastures, Leon heated up a piece of cheese on the open fire to ease his hunger and keep warm. He found the melted cheese had a transcendent flavor. It not only complemented other foods – it made a great, satisfying meal for his family.

Popular since the Middle Ages, Raclette is still produced with milk from cows that are fed fresh grass in the summer and meadow hay in the winter.

Raclette is the quintessential cheese for sharing and gathering with family and friends.

Whatever type of grill is used to heat the cheese, the principle is the same: melt Raclette and pour on top of your favorite foods.

This cheese is aromatic and has a wonderful creamy texture and a salty, slightly sweet, slightly nutty flavor.

200g of raclette cheese is recommended per person for a raclette dinner party. We suggest offering two to three different types or flavours of raclette.

The Swiss and French traditionally melt and scrape the cheese onto boiled baby potatoes, served with slices of smoked ham, sweet gherkins and pickled onions.

We enjoy it melted over fried sliced sausages, shrimp and mushrooms and steamed broccoli.
