Introducing Raclette de Savoie (I.G.P) 100g, a luxurious cheese that will transform your culinary experience! This delightful product originates from the picturesque Savoie region in the French Alps, offering a rich history and exceptional flavor profile that will elevate your cooking skills to new heights.
The history of Raclette de Savoie dates back to the Middle Ages when it was first mentioned in the year 1291 when local farmers and herdsmen found a creative way to make use of excess milk during the summer months.
As they moved their cattle to high mountain pastures, they would heat the cheese over an open fire, then scrape off the melted cheese to enjoy over bread, potatoes, or other accompaniments. The word "raclette" is derived from the French word "racler," which translates to "to scrape."
Producing Raclette de Savoie is a labor of love, with family-owned dairies utilizing traditional techniques passed down through generations. Made from raw cow's milk, the process involves mixing the milk with rennet and lactic starters and allowing it to mature for a couple of days. The curd is then pressed into circular molds and brined for a week, creating the iconic wheel-like shape.
To attain the coveted I.G.P (Indication Géographique Protégée) certification, the cheese must fulfill strict production standards and be aged for a minimum of three months, ensuring optimum quality and authenticity. Ripe Raclette de Savoie cheese exhibits a pale yellow hue and a semi-soft texture, accompanied by a distinctive aroma that evokes its alpine origins.
With a flavor profile that is delicate yet complex, Raclette de Savoie boasts nutty undertones and a mild saltiness.
The cheese's smooth consistency gives way to a delightful creaminess when heated, revealing its delightful melting characteristics. Raclette de Savoie also evolves as it ages, developing a more robust flavor with enhanced nutty and fruity notes.
Raclette de Savoie is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, both traditional and contemporary. Its original and most popular use is in the classic "raclette" dish – the namesake sharing meal where the melted cheese is scraped over an array of accompaniments such as boiled potatoes, cured meats, pickles, and fresh crusty bread. Other culinary applications for this heavenly cheese include melting it into fondue, incorporating it into gratins, or using it to elevate your favorite sandwiches and burgers. The possibilities are endless when it comes to enjoying this luxurious alpine delight.
