Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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!

Question 2

WHAT MAKES A CHEESE A GOOD PAIRING WITH WINE?

Accepted Answer

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.
