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 MacFerly brewery.
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.
- Pasteurized cow’s milk
- Refining time: 2 months

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.
“OUTSTANDING QUALITY and PRICE”
“I’ve been going to this cheese shop for several years now, and I’ve always had very good service, sometimes a wait, but it’s really worth it for the quality of the products, and the prices are lower than at the grocery store.
Well worth the detour…”

“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!!!”
