A regal-yet-humble alpine cheese
Classic alpine cheese made for melting and scraping.
Country of Origin: France
Milk Type/Treatment: Cow
Rennet Type: Animal
This melty funkster comes from the French side of the Alps. Produced at higher altitudes, it's nutty and slightly pungent. Perfect for using in a classic or modernized Raclette recipe. Yes - Raclette is both the name of the cheese AND the name of a dish.
The name “raclette” comes from the French "racier," “to scrape”. Raclette was traditionally a herdsman’s cheese—one made for themselves and not for market. After allowing it to melt by the evening fire, barely encased in its rind, the cheese would be scraped over hot potatoes and other mountain provisions. Now Raclette is one of the prized styles of Alpine cheese, still lending itself to the communal meal. Scrape away, dear friends!
Aside from making a traditional Raclette meal, it can be melted over eggs, atop a burger, or simply served with a punchy mustard and tangy cornichon.
