Raclette is not only a sociable way of eating, it is also delicious. Most Raclette Grills are designed to work with a half wheel of cheese. Simply load the cheese into the grill and turn it on. When the cheese begins to melt, you scrape it off and serve the melted cheese on a hot plate with a baked potato, pickled pearl onions, thinly sliced ham, cornichons, baguette, and of course, a glass of white wine. Think of Raclette as a winter barbecue!

We loved this cheese and I loved the price. I ordered the half wheel and compared to other places I could get it for a pound it was very resonable. I will definately buy a whole round next time. It is hard to find in Texas! The flavor and texture is just what I remembered eating in Europe. Thanks!

Should be a pantry item
By Madeleine from Tierra Verde, FL on 6/1/2008
Pros:
Creamy, Flavorful, Smooth
Best Uses:
Melted, The perfect quick dinner
Describe Yourself:
Frequent Diner, Simple Tastes
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Raclette should be in everyone's back up plans. It keeps a long time in your refrigerator and can be used for a quick dinner served with salad and prepared in no time. It is also a great meal to serve for large party dinners. Everyone eats at their own pace as much or as little as they want. Great served with salad and cornichons and boiled red/new potatoes. Be sure to have pepper, garlic powder and nutmeg available to add as condiments.

 
French Raclette - Half Wheel

This cheese is the best. The French Raclette is so much better than the Swiss version. You can't get it just anywhere. Thank goodness igourmet.com has the best raclette you can buy. You can also cut this into smaller pieces and use it with the conventional Raclette oven with the individual pans.

I have been purchasing this raclette cheese from igourmet.com for several years now. The cheese is excellent and you cannot beat the price. [...]this cheese is the most flavorful raclette cheese I've tasted. The others that I've paid $15/pound don't compare - they were much more bland. I definitely recommend purchasing this cheese through igourmet!

Excellent and tasty choice
By Tom from BurgdorfVerified Reviewer from Huntington NY on 3/16/2008
Pros:
Flavorful
Best Uses:
Melted

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

As a cheese connaissur, originally from the 'Emmental', I think this Livradoux is an excellent choice. Very tasty, flavorful, yes smelly when you cut it, but that's what I love... Also an excellnt choice for 'Chaes-Schnitte', toast slices of whole wheat bread first, then put a 1/4 inch thick slice of Livradoux on top and put it back into the toaster oven... Yummy! I normally buy a half wheel, cut it up in 1/2 pound portions, vacuum and freeze every portion until consumption. You can not go wrong with this cheese from the French Alps!

I have searched everywhere to find a cheese comparable to the cheese I ate as Raclette in Chamonix, France. This cheese is amazing melted in a Raclette grill, served with baguette, cornichons, thinly sliced ham and veggies. Try mango chutney on the top for a real treat!

The ONLY cheese for raclette'ing. The cheese's smell will make you think you're standing in a cow paddy. If the rind is too strong, remove and discard. The cheese mellows when melted. If you have leftovers, use as you would gruyere with potatoes or in savory tarts.

It's The Friendly Meal
By RayVerified Reviewer from Pullman, WA on 2/28/2007
Pros:
Good Value, High Quality
Cons:
none
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My wife is Alsatian (the Alsace region of France) and because of this I was first exposed to the concept of Raclette. I say that it is a friendly dish because there are so many plates of good stuff spread around the table that you are constantly passing things to your neighbor. This is a great way to share an evening with good friends. Be sure to have plenty of good white wine for the evening and end with schnapps

I have loved Raclette for years, but it became difficult to find where I lived. The cheese is fresh, with a pungent flavor and is long lasting. It is perfect for a simple supper on a chilly night, accompanied by small white potatoes and cornichons, and a glass of wine.
