Raclette cheese is a type of Swiss cheese that is traditionally used for raclette, a popular dish in the Alps. It is made from cow's milk and has a semi-ferme and melting texture once heated. The raclette cheese has a soft and creamy flavor, with notes of hazelnut and curd milk. It is often consumed in slices, melted on potatoes or vegetables, but can also be used in the kitchen to flavor sauces, marinades and vinegrimettes. Raclette cheese is a source of protein, calcium and vitamin B12, but it is also rich in fat and sodium, it is therefore important to consume it in moderation as part of a healthy and balanced diet.
