Raclette du Valais is the traditional raclette of its home canton, made with the protected Valais raw-milk cheese, which melts into a pungent, gooey layer. A half wheel is heated and scraped portion by portion onto potatoes boiled in their skins. It is served with cornichons, pickled onions and thin slices of Valais air-dried meat.

History

Raclette du Valais has held Swiss protected designation of origin since 2007, and only cheese made in the canton may carry the name. Melting cheese by the fire has long been part of herding life in the Valais Alps.
