| Raclette by Murray's is a semi-soft, washed-rind Alpine cheese from Switzerland, produced by Emmi in Lucerne using pasteurized cow’s milk and vegetal (microbial) rennet, making it vegetarian-friendly. Unlike traditional raw milk Raclette du Valais AOP, this version uses pasteurization for safety and consistent flavor. Aged 3-6 months, it has 40-45% moisture, a nutty, milky, fruity profile with mild pungency, and melts to a creamy, viscous texture. Typical food pairings include potatoes and cured meats; wine and beer pairings highlight acidic whites, light reds, and saisons. The rind is edible, and inherent ammonia or tackiness is normal. | |
