Raclette with Chilli
£3.70 per 100g
- Cows Milk
- Unpasteurised
- Switzerland
Description
A Swiss mountain cheese with the addition of red chillies, which adds a wonderful kick and a spicy hit to the melted cheese. This has proven very popular with our customers and makes a good alternative to the traditional style.
Delicious melted over the ever-popular raclette machine, or oven-baked over new potatoes until it goes. Full flavoured with that extra spicy edge.
To call Raclette a cheese is an understatement, it is a national dish. Melted cheese dishes appear in medieval texts from Swiss convents as early as 1291, eaten by peasants in the Alpine regions of Valais and Fribourg, and Savoie and Haute-Savoie across the border. Cow herders carried cheese with them when moving cattle to and from mountain pastures, setting it beside the campfire in the evening to soften before scraping it onto bread.
How much to buy
We suggest 250g (around 3 slices) to 500g (around 6 slices) per person, depending on how much you can eat. We can eat a lot. This raclette is made in blocks rather than wheels, since it is generally sliced and ready for the melting pans. If you would like a wheel or part of a wheel we can get this for you, please email info@thecheesesociety.co.uk.
All cheeses are hand cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can and happy to offer advice on purchasing the right amount if you are unsure. If you would like a price for larger weights or whole cheeses, please call us.
Delivery
This Swiss Raclette comes in rectangular wedges ready for melting pans. If you want it in slices, please ask or add it to the notes at checkout.
Your cheese is cut fresh to order, wrapped and packed by hand and delivered on the day you choose. We deliver across the UK from Tuesday to Friday each week. If you are ordering for a gift or special occasion we advise you to always allow an extra day in case of any unforeseen courier delays.
