Raclette – Chili

Originally from Switzerland, cheesemaker Fritz Kaiser was a pioneer in creating Canadian raclette.

Semi-firm cheese surface-aged with chili flakes.

Slightly spicy but mild compared to the paste.

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, 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.

Preservation
  • “Truly a Gem”

    This is well worth a visit! We go here often and the variety is wonderful and the cheese is literally award winning (check out the display). Friends and family who generally think they don’t like anything beyond cheddar are astounded by the number of cheeses they love from here.

  • “A fine selection of cheeses”

    A nice selection of cheeses and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. I loved my cheese choices!
