Livradois Raclette - 6kg apx Wheel

This Raclette is a semi-hard, cooked and pressed cow's milk cheese from the Auvergne region of France. It is built to melt.

The rind is washed in brine through the ageing process, producing a smooth, sweet and supple paste with a silky texture. Unlike many cheeses that split when heated, Raclette holds together: the fat stays bound in the paste rather than oozing out, giving a clean melt and an unctuous mouthfeel.

The name comes from the French verb racler, meaning to scrape. It also gives its name to the dish: boiled potatoes, pickled onions and cornichons with melted cheese scraped over the top. The cheese can be served at the table, but Raclette is at its best melted, when its distinct aroma and nutty flavour come forward.
