This Raclette cheese is made by Fromagerie Du Livradois. It's a semi-hard cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk. After a minimum of 8 weeks maturation, the cheese has a thin rind whose hue can vary from golden to light brown with some grey spots. The cheese melts in the mouth with a fruity flavor. The Societe Fromagere du Livradois is based in Fournols and was created in 1949 by Jean Thuaire. It remains to this day a family run cheese dairy that never seem to change, enriched by a well-preserved territory at altitudes of between 2300 and 4000 feet. The dairy farms and cheese makers are located in the heart of Livradois-Forez Regional Natural Park in Auvergne.
