Raclette – Strong

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

Kaiser cheese dairy produces a wide variety of raclette.

The Raclette Forte is a surface-aged cheese between 8 and 12 months, which gives it a firmer texture.

It features aromas of milk and butter and a pronounced nutty 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, 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 place is fantastic. Just happened upon it on a quick trip over the border from Vermont. Great cheese, French bread and service. We sat outside in their pretty picnic area and had a gourmet lunch (including some olives). They also sell a variety of other specialty items too. We just loved the whole experience!

  • “Worth the effort”

    Super nice choice of cheese prices are almost half those of grocery stores and you can taste all the cheese you want I love it 😉
