Canada has banned many unpasteurized cow and buffalo milk cheeses from Switzerland, France, Spain, Greece & Italy, due to a cattle-disease outbreak.
This affects the availability of favourites including Brie de Meaux, Morbier, Tomme de Savoie, Vacherin Mont d'Or, and Tête de Moine.
We'll bring back these cheeses the moment we can, but the restrictions are expected to last many months.
A very nice, mild raclette cheese from Quebec. The subtle notes of hazelnut and melted butter combine with a gorgeous supple texture to make this cheese a great choice for snacking or melting.
Sold in 200 g or 300 g wedges. (Note: product photos are not intended to depict any particular size wedge.)
(For a raclette dinner, we recommend between 100 g and 200 g of cheese per person.)
Purchased 200g and it was just enough for a two person raclette. Just used a good quality pan and a candle to melt it. Very gooey and yummy on boiled potato. Way to go Quebec!!
I would hate for someone to base their opinion of raclette on this sub-par product. It was somehow oily but also dry and crumbly at the same time. Bitter aftertaste. I wouldn’t mind as much if it was a matter of “you get what you pay for” but the price tag was also premium. I will never consider raclette from outside Europe ever again.
Products look great 😊 n website. Very small in reality. Cheese is very oily vs real Swiss raclette cheese
Sorry to hear the cheese wasn't to your liking. Fortunately, we also offer Swiss and French raclette for those who prefer something different.
WRT product size, the unit for each cheese is intentionally not large. We don't want to put customers in a position where they need to buy large amounts, especially if it's a cheese they are unfamiliar with.
For transparency, we clearly list the size of wedge being purchased (~150 g in this case). Here we also try to be helpful by recommending how much cheese is generally required per person when serving raclette. Additionally, we also state in the product description: “Product photos are not intended to depict any particular size wedge.”
To label us deceptive for posting a photo of what the cheese actually looks like is simply an unfair characterization. Even if they ignore all of the information above, we think most customers realize they are not getting the quarter wheel of cheese in the photo for $7.95.
