Raclette – Washed with Beer
Originally from Switzerland, cheesemaker Fritz Kaiser was a pioneer in creating Canadian raclette.
Semi-firm cheese surface-aged with Quebec beer from the Alchimiste brewery (gluten free beer).
This cheese has a fruity aroma and a pronounced hazelnut flavor with a light malt taste.
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.
“Great cheese”
“This cute little fromagerie has great cheese and condiments. We enjoyed sampling a few of the cheeses and purchased our favorites along with crackers, coffee, and a few sweets. The coffee is made using Nespresso pods and the selection of cold beverages includes juice, soda water, and standard cold drinks. There are a couple of small tables to sit inside and enjoy the atmosphere! ”

Yelp“Well worth the detour!”
“We really had a great stay! The staff were very efficient and pointed out several kinds of cheese. We found the prices to be reasonable and of a high standard. The store sells bread, chocolate and other products. The grocery store was easy to find after crossing the border into Alburg, Vermont. ”
