This winter, many people want a raclette cheese that’s both delicious and reassuring. According to tests relayed by consumer associations, short ingredient lists are gaining ground. So, whether you’re planning a simple cosy evening or the perfect New Year’s Eve<\/a> with friends and family, the choice is also made on the origin of the milk, the maturing process and the price. <\/p>\n

Which raclette cheese to choose this winter?<\/h2>\n

U – Raclette U matured on spruce boards. This raclette cheese has a straightforward taste and a simple composition. Its 400 g<\/g> format and \u20ac4.39<\/g> price tag make it easy to prepare for weekend get-togethers. The result is even slices and a homogeneous melt for generous pans, perfect before a New Year’s Eve brunch in Paris<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Les Crois\u00e9s (Marque Rep\u00e8re) – Les Crois\u00e9s, made with pasteurized milk and a rind. At \u20ac8.55\/kg<\/strong>, this raclette cheese is affordable for families. On the other hand, its texture requires regular heating to ensure a good texture. What’s more, its mild profile is perfect for palates that like fullness, especially on New Year’s Eve with friends<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Carrefour – Carrefour Original, plain with crust and pasteurized milk. Shelf labels indicate a benchmark price of \u20ac13.07\/kg<\/strong>, sometimes seen at \u20ac9.22\/kg<\/strong> on local special offers. Even so, raclette cheese holds up well in the pan. It goes well with firm potatoes and pickles, but also with a festive cocktail like Persimmon Sour with persimmon<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Reassuring, easy-to-find references<\/h3>\n

Lidl – Ch\u00eane d’Argent, plain with rind, made from pasteurized milk. Priced at around \u20ac8.72\/kg<\/strong>, this raclette cheese offers a good balance between price and pleasure. It also melts evenly, so there’s no need for children to make a mess of it. As a result, cooking is stress-free, even when the table is getting longer to enjoy a cosy Christmas<\/a>. <\/p>\n

RichesMonts – Nature with rind, made from pasteurized milk. This raclette cheese is a sure bet for rapid melting and buttery flavor. However, it’s best to remove the cheese wheel a few minutes beforehand. That way, the texture becomes softer and the flavor really opens up. <\/p>\n
