Raclette du Valais AOP

The Raclette du Valais AOP/PDO is produced from raw milk, which is delivered twice a day to the cheese factory. Feeding the cows with silage fodder is prohibited. The milk is processed in a copper kettle. The fresh cheese is rubbed with salt or plunged in a salt bath for 24 hours. During maturing time, which lasts for at least 3 months, placed on planks of red spruce the loaves are regularly washed and turned. The Raclette du Valais PDO can be marketed as Hobelkäse (to be sliced) after 9 months maturing time.
