Raclette
« on: May 15, 2010, 06:18:10 AM »
Well I finaly made Sue's raclette a few months back with a few gallons of milk I had left from the weeks pickup. I thought I had posted it somewhere but couldn't find it. In any case I cut it the other night to see what it was doing. It felt kind of soft and the color was more orange than red I believe Sue's was red. I have never had this cheese before either so the whole thing is new for me. Nice creamy taste but I resealed it and think I will wait another month or so I think this will develop a much richer flavor by then.  I did not have an aging time but I thought it was like 2 months?

This is what it looks like now:

Now all you have to do is lay that bad boy on a piece of stone in front of a fire and then scrap the bubbling melting mass over some boiled potatoes. . . :)

I am hoping it tastes as good as it looks. I had to buy a piece to compare as I have never had this cheese before. The color of the rind is definately lighter than the store bought one I got today. Although even though I feel it is too young yet mine is definately creamier.
