Raclette is both a cheese and a method. Delicious aromatic Raclette cheese is heated and melted then scraped off of the wheel over roasted petite potatoes, served with fresh baguette, baby gherkins & pickled pearl onions.
A bit of history…Centuries old Raclette, (from the french word racler, meaning to scrape), is a cow's milk cheese that originated in the Alps. Both a Swiss and French tradition, Raclette has a wonderful creamy texture and a salty, slightly sweet, slightly nutty flavor not unlike Gruyere. It's fairly aromatic and becomes more pungent the longer the cheese wheel is aged. It’s unique rind is not only edible, it is delicious!
