Raclette & Potatoes Kit

Tasting Notes of the Curator

The Raw Milk Raclette AOP carries the rustic soul of the French Alps. When gently heated, its texture transforms into satin — creamy, nutty, and faintly floral, with just enough aroma to fill the room with anticipation. It’s the kind of cheese that demands no pretense, only good company and warmth. The Ratte Grenaille Potatoes, golden and buttery, are the perfect canvas. Their delicate sweetness and fine-grained flesh absorb the Raclette’s richness effortlessly, making every bite a harmony of salt, cream, and earth. Finishing it all is Échiré Butter, a legend in French dairying. Made in the small village of Échiré since 1894, its silky texture and cultured flavor give this meal a touch of quiet luxury — the kind you don’t flaunt, only savor.

Pairings and Suggestions

How to Prepare a Classic Raclette Supper

• Boil or steam the Ratte Potatoes until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes.
• Melt the Raclette using a raclette grill, oven broiler, or small pan until bubbling and golden.
• Pour the melted cheese over the warm potatoes.
• Finish with a pat of Échiré Butter to enrich the sauce, letting it melt slowly into the folds of potato and cheese.

Optional additions: Cornichons and charcuterie for contrast A glass of crisp white wine such as a Savoie or Chardonnay

This meal is more than comfort — it’s participation. It asks you to melt, pour, and share.

The Ritual of Melt

In the French Alps, winter doesn’t mean silence — it means Raclette. Families gather around a single source of warmth: melted cheese and conversation. This dish carries that same ritual — the joy of slowness, of hands reaching for the next bite, of stories told over the sound of cheese bubbling. With Échiré’s buttery richness and Ratte potatoes’ sweetness, this kit transforms an ordinary night into a shared moment of golden simplicity.

Storage Instructions

Keep Raclette cheese and Échiré butter refrigerated at 2–6°C. Potatoes should be stored in a cool, dark place and consumed within a week.
