French Raclette – Pound Cut (1 pound) by igourmet.com
Posted on Friday, November 13th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
The world’s most famous melting cheese, Raclette is made in the Alps on both sides of the French-Swiss border. The French version is perhaps a bit softer than Swiss Raclette, but the two taste very similar. Raclette has a semi-soft interior dotted with small holes and a rosy inedible rind. Eaten as a table cheese, Raclette has a smooth, creamy taste that is neither too salty nor sharp. However, our French Raclette tends to have a strong, pungent aroma that is not for the timid. This cheese is traditionally melted (a half wheel is placed in a fireplace, then the melted top surface is continuously scraped off) and layered atop boiled potatoes, pickles, fresh vegetables and sliced meats.

After 34 years in Europe, we were on the lookout for a good source of Raclette cheese back here in the U.S. Since we do not live near large cities, we went with the igourmet product. It was great, came quickly in a nifty Styrofoam containers and we enjoyed it. However, the shipping is quite high. We had an option to buy in large quantities, raclette, but does not freeze well and can only eat so many times in a season.
