Vacherin Fribourgeois AOP, half wheel, 8.5 lbs

This Vacherin Fribourgeois AOP is made on Alp Gantrischli in Canton Fribourg, Switzerland. Crafted the old fashioned way, the cheese is wrapped with a gauze band around the wheel with a bumpy, rustic looking surface. Deep, earthy, and perfectly light, with a yogurt like sourness, slight core still in the paste. The Vacherin melts like cream. It is made from raw milk.

Alp Gantrischli is part of the Adopt-an-Alp program, that also brings us the Raclette from Alp Maran. Learn more about Alp Gantrischli here.

The half wheel is about 8.5 lbs.

Vacherin is an indispensable part of the popular Moitié-Moitié fondue and tastes delicious on its own too. 

Vacherin is often used half and half with Gruyere cheese or just on it's own. For a fondue recipe directly from Fribourg, click here.

The cheese will usually ship with UPS ground or US priority mail the following Monday or Tuesday after placing the order. We will contact you if we feel that we can't guarantee the freshness of the cheese by ground shipment. To avoid expedited shipping charges we ship the cheese on ice. Please allow for a fee of $4.00 to cover the cost of ice and foil.

If you need to get the order for a certain date, please check with us at info@raclettecorner.com or call 605 332 5572.

We cannot provide gift wrapping for cheese.
