Raclette – Pepper
Originally from Switzerland, cheesemaker Fritz Kaiser was a pioneer in creating Canadian raclette.
Semi-firm cheese surface-aged with green peppercorns.
The cheese has a hazelnut aroma and an accentuated pepper and fruit flavor.
Its name comes from the act of scraping the melted surface of the cheese onto potatoes on a plate.

Cheese preservation
Semi-firm & firm cheese Washed Rinds
To best preserve semi firm to firm cheese with washed rinds, store them in the fridge between 2-4 degrees in the paper provided.
The paper will get malleable every time it is unwrapped but will not lose its efficiency to keep the cheese fresh. It is very normal that a layer of white mold grows on the paste of the cheese, this is the natural process of the rind trying to form.
This mold is not harmful; you may remove a thin slice and keep consuming the cheese. The cheese will keep for 4-5 weeks refrigerated.
“Love this cheese company, but as someone who sells your cheese I don’t quite understand the bipolar minds behind the stickers/ logo! Always receiving a new one every time! Is it not possible to stick to one?! All of the members of our store collectively agreed that the red is the best looking. ”

“OMG. What can I say.”
“OMG. What can I say. I’ve known this place from 25 yrs ago. We kept going back despite the renovations and building of the new store. They keep expanding their offer. Great cheeses and more. They started selling fresh bread and jams many years back. The secret is out. On a Thursday afternoon in September people still queue up with a shopping list for their friends and family. They’ve setup a few picnic tables and additional parking to accommodate the masses. Come early come quick come often!!!”
