Raclette Cheese

The famous Swiss Alpine delicacy, raclette, has been enjoyed for centuries. The word itself is derived from the French word "racler", meaning "to scrape", as the cheese traditionally was scraped from the heated half-wheel onto a plate over boiled new potatoes and served with sour gherkins and pickled onions. Today raclette is conveniently heated right on the tabletop using a raclette oven or grill, making it a social event as much as a delicious meal.

Our raclette cheese is produced from pasteurized cow's milk and then carefully cured up to 6 months. It is characterized by a firmly textured, pale-yellow body with scattered small holes. The natural rind is light brown. Raclette has a distinctive, aromatic flavor that intensifies when heated. We offer it in three convenient sizes:

• Two individually packed blocks, each 1-¾ Lbs (total 3-½ Lbs), which are perfect for slicing into portions for heating in the individual trays of a raclette tabletop oven - each block serves 3 to 4 persons
• 3-½ Lbs Wedge - serves 6 to 8 persons
• 7 Lbs Half-Moon - serves 12 to 14 persons

Each loaf, wedge, and half-moon is vacuum packed, which will keep the cheese fresh unopened under refrigeration for about 3 to 4 months. After opening, the raclette will last about 4 weeks.
