Reading Raclette, American Cheese Month 2011

Reading Raclette is a nutty, washed rind cheese from Spring Brook Farm in Reading, VT.  This is the same farm that makes the #7 cheese Tarentaise. This Alpine-style cheese is a great example of a traditional French/Swiss cheese made in the US. Reading Raclette is best melted, especially if you have a raclette apparatus. If you don't have plans to visit the Alps or have one of these bad boys at your disposal, don't fret! You too can experience a traditional raclette service at the Houston Dairymaids. On Thursday, October 27, we are conducting our first Alpine cheese class. Not only will you experience the Alpine-style cheeses we carry and learn about their history and production, we will serve Reading Raclette and potatoes! Secure your seat to our Alpine class now!
