It is thought William Tell had tasted “Bratchäs”, as Raclette was called back in 1291. In those days, Raclette cheese was melted on an open fire and the soft melted mass gradually stripped off onto a plate.
The preparation of raclette, which is the Swiss national dish, has hardly changed over the years except that open fires are now much rarer. This is the reason why raclette aficionados have opted for raclette grills that are simple and easy to use and widely available.

This semi-hard cheese is made with cow’s milk and offers a mild, aromatic taste.
The recipe remains very simple: invite a few friends, buy a nice chunk of Swiss raclette cheese, a few accompaniments, bottles of wine and you are ready to go. Find this cheese in our deli.
