Raclette, pronounced raklet, is both a cheese and the traditional dish made from it to original Swiss recipes. Together with fondue it counts as a national dish of Switzerland. We offer authentic, original Swiss raclette.
Ageing at Laiterie d’Orsières. The wheels we use for raclette.
To scrape
The name comes from the French word racler, to scrape. The cheese is heated over a fire or on a special grill, and the melt is scraped onto the plate.
Alpine pastures
This semi-hard cheese is made from cow’s milk on the high pastures of the Swiss and French Alps. A milder or stronger taste depends on how long it ages, and on the flowers, mountain herbs and other plants the cows graze.
A dish called raclette
Aged cheese of the highest original quality becomes the traditional raclette, to the original Swiss recipe. It is a good time at the table, a pleasure to eat, and a way to surprise guests with the authentic original.
Where the quality comes from
The most important ingredient is cow’s milk. Crystal-clear water from alpine glaciers, together with mountain flowers, herbs and other plants, makes up the diet of Swiss cows and shows up in the taste of the cheese. Raclette is made across almost all of Switzerland and in part of France. The main areas are Valais, central Switzerland, eastern Switzerland and French Savoie. We distribute cheeses of the highest original quality, Swiss AOP from the Laiterie d’Orsières dairy in the canton of Valais, and we follow original Swiss recipes.
The round wheels are made from unpasteurised mountain milk and age for at least three months. Full-fat milk and cellar ageing give a creamy-smooth texture, an intense taste and an aroma that depends on how long, and in which season, the cheese ages.
Laiterie d’Orsières. The dairy in the heart of the Pays des Reines, where the cheeses we distribute are made.
70 litres
About this much cow’s milk goes into one wheel of raclette.
3 months
The minimum ageing of a round wheel made from unpasteurised mountain milk.
25 litres of milk
They take about 100 kg of feed and 85 litres of water.
Over 2 kg
On average, more than two kilos of raclette cheese per person in Switzerland each year. With nearly 9 million people, yearly raclette consumption exceeds 18 million kilograms.
About us
Story of the Czech king
Milan Kolář was crowned the Czech Raclette King and is the ambassador for Czechia and Slovakia. The story has been written for more than twenty-two years, from the Swiss Alps to Czech and Slovak tables.
For Milan, raclette is not just a meal. It is a passion and a life’s work. From the French-speaking canton of Valais he brought a craft that still surprises guests: the cheese is heated and the melt is scraped onto the plate.
We watch quality at the source. We distribute cheeses of the highest original quality. Milk from the cows of the Pays des Reines, water from alpine glaciers and mountain herbs give the cheese a tone we taste on every trip to the Laiterie d’Orsières dairy. The range includes Raclette du Valais AOP from Orsières, herb Barry, a cheese with wild pepper from Madagascar and Vacherin Fribourgeois. We prepare it to original Swiss recipes.
In 2013 the project opened with the Open Raklet Festival. Today the same authentic original is served at Raclette Points in the mountains and from a food truck.
