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.

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.

  • “This place is amazing”

    This place is amazing.

    The beer cheese is my favorite, and the brie was solid. Others in the group liked their swisslike cheese and softer one with some vegetable ash that was a bit ripe for my taste. Being direct to customers it’s around the same price as super market cheese and WAY better. Worth going out of your way on the way back from MTL if you’re in upstate NY.

    The olive bread in stock is really well done and even the sparkling juice was really tasty. We got an apple blend (grapefruit I’m tempted to say?) and it was a delicious treat for the ride back.
