Nutty, Creamy 
and a Little Funky

Experience the perfect blend of Alpine tradition and Wisconsin craftsmanship with our award-winning Raclette cheese. Made from the finest locally sourced milk, our cheese is inspired by the majestic peaks of the Alps, bringing rich, time-honored flavors to your table. Its smooth, creamy texture melts beautifully, releasing a nutty, buttery flavor with just the right balance of mild sharpness. The result is a comforting, melt-in-your-mouth experience that’s perfect for melting over potatoes, meats and crispy bread with a side of vegetables and cornichon pickles.

Cheese lovers are saying

  • Producers like Alpinage make me incredibly proud to be a chef in Wisconsin. I feel fortunate to work alongside passionate artisans whose creations rival the best in the world

    Kyle Knall - Chef (Birch - Milwaukee, WI)

  • What a gorgeous example of this classic mountain-style cheese. At my last dinner party, we melted it over potatoes and cornichons and swirled it into a gooey fondue. My guests couldn't get enough

    Kat Craddock - Editor-in-Chief, Saveur Magazine

  • Alpinage Raclette is the cheese I’ve been waiting for and dreaming about my entire career. Complex, rich and luscious- it’s truly the product of generations and love

    Luke Zahm - Chef and TV host

  • Different than its European cousin, Orphee’s take on raclette is characterized by its creamy texture and prominent earthy, buttery, nutty and fruity flavors with just a hint of pungency.

    Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin

  • Orphee is really passionate about cheesemaking and he comes at it from a new angle. He doesn’t have any preconceived notions and he has an attitude that anything is possible.
