Switzerland Raw-Milk Raclette - Pound Cut image

(based on 2 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 - Pound Cut:

I have been a long time purchaser of this cheese, paying the extra dollars over the other raclettes because it was worth it. However, my most recent shipment was very bland, and had a different melting consistency. Seriously, even the French Raclette is much better... I can only assume that iGourmet has gone with a different brand, but I am very disappointed.

Fantastic cheese

Comments about Switzerland Raw-Milk Raclette - Pound Cut:

If you can find the original raclette cheese from Valais then you will taste one of the best cheeses from the Alps. Full flavor and really complex with a lot of terroir. Creamy, nutty, earthy with hints of grass and mountain flowers.
Try it by itself in slices with some rye bread or the usual melted way or aged if you find it.
