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.

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

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.
