RacletteⓇ 101
Non GMO, lactose free and gluten free.
Raclette is an aromatic cheese with a creamy texture and a rich history dating back to the year 1291. It’s known for its high nutritional value and was first eaten in the Swiss and Savoy (French) Alps.
Traditionally, Raclette cheese was warmed close to a fire or on a special heating plate (also called a raclette) and the melting cheese was scraped onto a plate. In fact, the word “raclette” comes from the French “racler”, meaning “scrape”.
Raclette is a genuine piece of Swiss culture that has grown to be one of Switzerland’s favourite cheeses. Our Raclette Suisse brand is guaranteed to be of natural purity and first-rate quality.
Raclette in a Variety of Foods
Over the years, Raclette has evolved into an extremely popular dish for entertaining, either as an appetizer, a topping or even a main course. It’s easy to prepare and is one of the best pairing cheeses with dry white wine such as Chenin Blanc.
Raclette’s taste can vary depending on its age—from nutty to milky. In the summer months, when accompanied by fresh salads or crispy vegetables, Raclette transforms into a true symphony for the taste buds. By contrast, Raclette served with fresh fruits and nuts provides hearty warmth in winter.
That’s the beauty of Raclette—its versatility. With a little imagination, it can provide the right accompaniment for almost any meal!
