A Raclette with good flavor can be hard to come by, but this one definitely fills the gap. Authentic and rich, full flavor Comes through in this raw milk version. Raclette, made on both the Swiss and French sides of the Alps, is the name of the cheese as well as its famous dish. Raclette is derived from the term "racler", meaning to scrape, describing how the dish is traditionally prepared. Fill a bowl with boiled potatoes, thick pieces of ham, cornichon pickles and then scrape the melting cheese off the face of the wheel into the bowl. This, of course, requires that the cheese is heated over a fire, in the half-wheel, but there are ways of getting around that!
