It is produced starting from milk believed of high quality resulting from specific breeds of local cows primarily nourished on grass and the hay. This method of preparation makes it a highly unique cheese, contributing to its one of a kind flavor. Raclette is a mountain style cheese that has a milky flavor and a silky texture. Younger and a bit softer than most other Alpine styles of cheeses, Raclette is delicious melted over potatoes, vegetables, bread and may other dishes. Sap Sago is aged over 150 days and can be added to any pasta, potato or salad dish. It is not recommended as a table cheese but a wonderful cheese to add some spice to any recipe.
