Product Description
Raclette is not only a sociable way of eating, it is also delicious. Most Raclette Grills are designed to work with a half wheel of cheese. Simply load the cheese into the grill and turn it on. When the cheese begins to melt, you scrape it off and serve the melted cheese on a hot plate with a baked potato, pickled pearl onions, thinly sliced ham, cornichons, baguette, and of course, a glass of white wine. Think of Raclette as a winter barbecue!

 A little too mild March 8, 2007

I found this to be creamy, good at melting, and pleasing to my kids--but for me, it was a little too mild. There was little hint of the slightly acrid pungency that I associate with great raclette. I found myself needing to salt and pepper my raclette...which I've never had to do with a more flavorful cheese. This one is ok, and I know we'll enjoy eating it, but next time I'm going to look for something with a little more oomph.

Once, we walked into a Swiss Raclettestube in Zermatt. The overpowering odor of melting Raclette cheese caused one of our party to double over and have to be carried out. Sadly, no raclette for us that evening. Whimp! And Raclette in nearby Germany is served with butterkaese, a non-smelly alternative that just doesn't do it.
Raclette is a traditional Swiss meal of cheese toasted originally by the fire and now, in a rather effete fashion in a raclette maker, a grill with a toaster underneath where you can put the cheese to melt in individual pans. The traditional things to serve with raclette are small boiled potatoes, gerkhins, and grilled sausages. These sausages, you grill on top of the raclette maker (and hence you see the attraction to the Germans. Wurst with everything.)
This cheese is the real thing, smelly, tangy and great with potatoes or just on rye bread. It will put hair on your chest.

This cheese is wonderful. It arrived well chilled and tasted wonderful. What a treat to have raclette year round. The extras freeze well and defrost without problem. Well worth the cost, but no need to pay for more expensive raclette. This was perfect!
