Do you dream of scorching potatoes and melted cheese? So do we! Are you more of a fondue team or a raclette team? Raclette fans, discover our best tips for reinventing this traditional dish all winter long, and never get bored of it. It’s up to you!
#1
Enjoy a traditional raclette
Traditional raclette is much more than just a dish: it’s a true ritual of sharing and conviviality. Originating in the mountains, this specialty is based on one key ingredient: raclette cheese! For an even more authentic experience, opt for a half or quarter wheel raclette machine. You’ll be able to reproduce the tradition of shepherds who heated their cheese over a wood fire.
Comforting, gourmet and convivial, it’s the ideal dish after a day in the mountains, or simply for a meal with friends!
#2
Vary your cheeses
Looking for a change from the classic raclette cheese? There’s nothing to stop you from trying out other cheeses! Try raclette with goat’s tomme or morbier for a touch of originality! For the more adventurous, try reblochon, comté, saint-nectaire or maroilles.
There’s something for everyone!
#3
Try raclette from the sea
If for you, raclette is synonymous with charcuterie and cooked ham, you’re in for a surprise! Why not try a seafood version of raclette? Fresh, smoked or marinated fish, scallops, shrimps and other seafood invite themselves to your table for a daring raclette!
Let’s take to the open seas for this explosive raclette.

Enjoy a vegetarian raclette
Pan-fried, oven-roasted or steamed, replace your cold cuts with vegetables or mushrooms. Carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, red cabbage and leeks are the perfect accompaniment to cheese and potatoes.
The possibilities are endless!
#5
Add bonus ingredients
Replace the traditional cheese-potato-charcuterie trilogy and give your raclette a twist with bonus ingredients! Quail eggs, which can be cooked on their own in a pan, or broken directly onto the cheese slices. Cumin, paprika, hot pepper, wild garlic, sesame seeds, fried onions… Offer your guests an assortment of spices or seeds to sprinkle over your cheese. Prefer nuts? Choose roasted or crushed walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts or cashews.
A bonus for a spicy, crunchy raclette!
#6
Enjoy raclette with gourmet flavours
Raclette, yes, but tastefully presented! Forget the family appliance in the middle of the table and opt instead for oven cooking and guests served on a plate. The little extra? Add a drop of truffle oil when the cheese comes out of the oven.
A stylish and delicious raclette!
