The Semi-Hard Cheese That Will Melt Your HeartSwiss cow-herders used to melt raclette over their campfire and scrape it onto bread. Nowadays, folks do much the same indoors, melting the cheese over a tabletop grill or in front of the fireplace (or with a dedicated raclette iron — now there's a gift for the person who has everything). Pair it with potatoes, gherkins or dried meat. Expecting company this season? Gather them 'round the fire, add wine and scrape away for a merry, melty holiday!
