Raclette Jurassienne can mean two things:
- It can be the cheese called “raclette” (aka “Raclette du Jura”) when it is made in the Jura region of eastern France on the border with Switzerland. It will be made from raw cow’s milk, by small producers, and have a 45% fat content;
- It can be the meal called “raclette”, made with melted cheese and accompaniments, but instead of the cheese being “raclette cheese”, as is usual, the cheese is “Bleu de Gex“, which is also made in the Jura region. It is served with the same accompaniments as the regular meal called “raclette.” [1]”La raclette jurassienne: c’est le bleu de gex qui remplace le fromage a raclette traditionnel. On fait chauffer le fromage et on l’étale sur des pommes de terre ; on accompagne cela avec de la charcuterie.” — Bienvenue en franche-comté.
