Switzerland Raw-Milk Raclette - Quarter Wheel image

(based on 6 ratings)

Located in: Cheese, Switzerland

Until the 19th Century this perennial favorite was known as Valais. Taking its modern name from the French verb racler (to scrape), Raclette is now one of the most popular mountain cheeses worldwide. Made from whole, unpasteurized cow's milk, this raclette is typically aged three to four months. Smoother than gruyere, Raclette has a creamy and supple texture with fruity undertones that intensify when melted. A little firmer than its French counterpart, our Swiss Raclette is great served with Bunderfleisch or cured ham. Traditionally served with kirsch or beer.

Made from unpasteurized cow's milk.

Comments about Switzerland Raw-Milk Raclette - Quarter Wheel:

Great melted on potatoes and served with air-dried beef. We use the time it takes to melt the cheese to talk and share family stories. Only "con" is the smell.

Very hard to find high quality Swiss raclette. Much better melting cheese than the more common French variety. Excellent flavor.

This is a very smooth and great tasting cheese, an excellent choice for raclette as well as eating it raw with a slice of french baguette and a glas of white wine (Pinot Gris OR Chardonnay)

Comments about Switzerland Raw-Milk Raclette - Quarter Wheel:

I usually buy the French Raclette but it was out of stock so I bought this more expensive Swiss one, and I was really surprised as to how much more flavorful it was. It tastes really good and fruity, whereas the French one, while smelling stronger, tastes more bland. I will definitely buy this one again, it's a superior product! The only very minor negative is that when you cut it it tends to break very easily.
