French Raclette is an artisan cow's milk cheese from France, semi-hard when cool but deliciously gooey as it melts. The name comes from the French word "racler," meaning "to scrape," as it's traditionally scraped onto breads, meats and other dishes. In Switzerland and parts of France, it gives its name to the dish Raclette, in which the cheese is melted, scraped onto plates and served with meats and potatoes. In this manner, it is a very sociable cheese, ideal for entertaining friends or serving to family dinners on cold winter evenings.
