About Fromage a Raclette Cheese

Fromage Ă  Raclette is a semi-hard, artisan cheese made from unpasteurized cow's milk, traditionally produced in both France and Switzerland. It is well-known for its meltability, making it perfect for the classic dish, Raclette, where the cheese is melted and scraped over potatoes, meats, and vegetables. The cheese has a creamy and smooth texture when melted, with a mild flavor that is slightly nutty and tangy. When served unheated, it has a firm but pliable consistency. Its aroma is rich and inviting, hinting at the lush pastures where the cows graze. Fromage Ă  Raclette is a staple in Alpine regions, especially during the winter months when hearty, warming meals are favored.
