Raclette Green Pepper and Rose Bays Baechler

Tasting Notes from the Curator

Raclette Green Pepper and Rose Bays Baechler is a noteworthy addition to the distinguished world of European cheeses. This Swiss variety combines the creamy, semi-firm texture of traditional raclette with a unique flavour profile. The initial taste is mild and nutty, courtesy of the high-quality milk from cows grazing on Alpine pastures. Soon, the spice of green pepper comes forth, offering subtle heat without overwhelming the palate. Then, the gentle floral notes of rose emerge, complementing the spiciness with a delicate sweetness. The result is a harmonious blend of flavours — earthy, spicy, and floral — encapsulated in a luscious, creamy texture. The melting quality of raclette makes it ideal for a classic raclette meal where the cheese is melted and then scraped onto boiled potatoes or fresh bread.

Pairings & Suggestions

• Traditionally, this cheese pairs wonderfully with pickled gherkins and onions, and charcuterie such as prosciutto or salami.
• For a modern twist, consider serving it with whole grain crackers or artisan bread, topped with fig jam or olive tapenade.
• In terms of drink pairings, a light-bodied, dry white wine is an excellent choice. Avoid heavily oaked or high-tannin wines, as they may overpower the cheese’s flavours. Instead, opt for wines like Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, or Riesling.
