Raclette - 2.75kg apx Half Wheel

Raclette is a semi-hard Swiss cow’s milk cheese made specifically to melt. The name comes from the French racler, meaning to scrape, referencing the traditional practice of holding half a wheel to an open fire and scraping the molten cheese directly onto hot potatoes. The dish and the cheese are inseparable in Swiss culture, a ritual repeated in chalets for generations. Mifroma’s raclette is aged for a minimum of three months, producing a smooth, creamy paste with a mild, buttery character and a subtle nuttiness. It melts evenly and cleanly without becoming greasy, which is what makes it the benchmark choice for raclette machines and gratins.

Beyond the classic potato service, it works beautifully melted over charcuterie, grilled vegetables, and in burgers and toasted sandwiches where you want a proper melt rather than just cheese on bread.

Producer: Mifroma

Mifroma was founded in 1964 in a converted quarry in the Swiss canton of Fribourg, originally as a natural cellar for ripening Gruyère. Over more than fifty years the business has grown into Switzerland’s leading specialist in maturing and refining cheese, with their maîtres fromagers sourcing milk from farms just kilometres from village dairies and overseeing maturation in the Ursy cave, a purpose-built environment carved into the Swiss hillside. They distribute to tables across the world and produce one of the most comprehensive raclette ranges available, including smoked, cave-aged, truffle, paprika, and organic variants.
