<\/figure>\n\n\nThe history of raclette \ud83e\uddc0<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
According to legend, the history of the raclette dates back to the Middle Ages in the Swiss mountains of the Valais canton. Preparing this famous dish was much different then to how we do it now. Since the goal was to melt the cheese near a source of heat, like a fire in the hearth, it was essentially roasted cheese! The cheese had to be scraped (racler) so it would slide onto the plate. It was L\u00e9on, a Swiss shepherd, who discovered this one winter when he wanted to eat a delicious warm dish.<\/p>\n
In the 1970s, raclette became a popular dish with the invention of the raclette machine, thanks to a famous French household appliance brand. During the same period, raclette crossed the border into France and later become a favourite dish with the French.<\/p>\n\n
