A Raclette story…
Everything started in the Middle-Ages, with shepherds, a half loaf of cheese and a wood fire. Back then, people used to enjoy raclette outdoors, during the summer season. They just had to let the cheese melt on slices of bread.
Later, the word « raclette » appeared, coming from the fact that the melted cheese was scraped with a knife to be poured over potatoes.
In the mid 20th century, the rustic wood fire was replaced by the first electric appliances.
