Raclette

Raclette

Produced exclusively in the Canton of Valais, Switzerland, Raclette du Valais holds PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status, ensuring its authenticity and traditional production methods.

Farmers in the surrounding alpine regions transport their fresh cow’s milk to village cheese dairies once or twice a day, where master cheesemakers meticulously check its quality before beginning the cheesemaking process. Following an age-old recipe, the cheese is crafted using traditional copper vats, enhancing its distinctive flavour and smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture.

Tasting Notes

Raclette du Valais PDO has a rich, creamy, and slightly nutty flavour, with earthy and aromatic undertones developed during the aging process. When melted, it becomes velvety and smooth, making it the ideal cheese for classic raclette dishes, gratins, and gourmet sandwiches.
