Raclette with Ceps Mushrooms – Schmidhauser

This Raclette with Ceps Mushrooms from Schmidhauser is a flavoured raclette cheese made in the Alpine tradition, enriched with pieces of porcini mushrooms. The base raclette offers a smooth, creamy texture and a mild, milky flavour with subtle nutty and slightly tangy notes, while the ceps bring an earthy, woodland aroma and a savoury depth that recalls fresh forest mushrooms. When melted, the cheese becomes luxuriously soft and supple, releasing a rich, comforting scent of mushroom and toasted milk.

Schmidhauser is a family-run cheesemaker and maturer based in Haute-Savoie, France, with roots in Swiss cheese-making going back over a century. Since 1961, the company has been crafting and ageing traditional Alpine cheeses in the heart of the Savoie region, working closely with local dairy farmers and respecting time-honoured methods to produce authentic, high-quality raclette and other mountain cheeses.

Serve it in the classic raclette style, melted over boiled potatoes, charcuterie, pickled onions and gherkins, or use it to elevate grilled vegetables, mushrooms, pasta and rustic bread. It pairs beautifully with dry white wines such as Riesling, Pinot Gris or a fresh Alpine white, and also works well with light reds like Pinot Noir or Beaujolais.
