Gordonzola, a judge at this years American Cheese Society Competition, is at it again. This time he’s listing his top ten cheeses from the competition. Naturally, Leelanau Cheese Co. aged raclette is in the number one position.
“Leelanau Aged Raclette, Michigan. Won best in Show and I voted for it. Pungent, rich, earthy, and fruity. The flavor jumped out at me despite (because of?) the fact that I’d tasted 200 cheeses in the previous 36 hours. Someday I hope to actually be able to buy this cheese but from what I’ve heard, this cheese is so small production that it’s difficult to get even in Michigan. They also make a younger Raclette which is very good, but this aged one is transcendent.”
For his 2-10 picks, check out his blog. There’s a cool picture of the cheese at the competition, too.

ha, glad you appreciated it. Will you sell me some Aged Raclette?
Is the Raclette you make, a Swiss or French version? I went online and seen there were two types.
The Raclette that we make is a Swiss stlye washed rind Rcalette.
Exactly where can we get this cheese? We are on a business trip your way, and we want to put this on our trip list of “must sees and purchases”.

The aged Raclette is ONLY available at the Leelanau Cheese Creamery at Black Star Farms. The demand is so great that Anne and John do not distribute this cheese. The 3-month Raclette is available at the Farm or at grocery stores in the Grand Traverse area during the months of December through July.
