Raclette

A cosy Raclette is simply a must during the colder months.

To ensure everything runs smoothly, we’ve put together 5 tips and tricks for you!

Amount per person
How much cheese? The amount depends on the accompaniments. Plan on about 5–7 oz (150–200 g) of cheese per person.

Variety through cheese selection
– be sure to use different types of cheese for your Raclette! Raclette cheese is, of course, a must, but soft cheeses and, for example, goat’s cream cheese with fruit also work brilliantly!

Consistency
: As a rough rule of thumb, the ‘firmer’ a cheese is, the less it melts. 

The rind adds flavour
The rind of Raclette cheese is edible and adds a distinctive flavour. (However, we recommend only eating the rind of organic Raclette, as this is guaranteed to be free from preservatives and does not have a plastic coating.)

Patience is a virtue...
Almost any cheese can be browned and made crispy in a Raclette pan; the challenge here is to be patient enough! (We admit that we find this difficult too.)
