Raclette

The word raclette is derived from the French word “racler”, meaning “to scrape”, as the  cheese traditionally was scraped from the heated half-wheel onto a plate.

The production of raclette cheese originated from the mountainous Swiss canton of Valais, where Alpine farmers and shepherds would eat the raclette cheese heated in front of the fire.

Today raclette is enjoyed at home and makes a very entertaining meal for family and friends. Portions of raclette cheese are heated on a tabletop raclette oven in individual trays and, when hot and bubbly, are scraped onto each plate over vegetables or meats.

The traditional manner to serve raclette is over small, firm boiled potatoes and served with pickled onions and gherkins.

The Alpine Melting Cheese

The signature cheese dishes of Swiss cuisine, fondue and raclette, trace their origins back many centuries to Alpine shepherds and farmers, who developed many ways to enjoy their delicious cheeses. While today some may prefer still to scrape cheese off a wheel in front of a campfire, others are discovering that fondue and raclette served at home make a delicious, hearty meal, which at the same time, is highly sociable and perfect for entertaining family and guests.
