What is Raclette?
Raclette cheese is best known for its use in the Swiss dish also called "raclette." In this dish, the cheese is heated, typically using a special raclette grill, until it melts, and then it is scraped onto boiled potatoes, pickles, and sometimes cured meats or other accompaniments. This method of serving is especially popular in winter months and often associated with social gatherings and festive occasions.
