WHAT IS RACLETTE CHEESE, AND HOW DO I ENJOY IT?

Raclette is a semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk, known for its smooth, creamy texture and slightly nutty flavour. It's traditionally melted and scraped over boiled potatoes, pickles and cured meats. Perfect for cosy gatherings, buy Raclette cheese if you’re after the ultimate comfort food!

WHAT MAKES A CHEESE A GOOD PAIRING WITH WINE?

A good cheese and wine pairing balances and enhances the flavours of both. Generally, it’s best to match intensity with intensity: bold cheeses with robust wines, and delicate cheeses with lighter wines. For example, a rich blue cheese pairs wonderfully with a sweet dessert wine, while a fresh goat cheese is delightful with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc.

WHAT ARE SOME TIPS FOR STORING CHEESE TO MAINTAIN FRESHNESS?

Keep your cheese in the vegetable drawer of your fridge, wrapped in wax paper or parchment paper, and then loosely in plastic wrap or a plastic bag. This allows the cheese to breathe while retaining moisture. For softer cheeses, a sealed container works best to prevent the cheese from drying out.
