Those craving for cheesy meals may want to try raclette, a semi-hard cow’s milk cheese that comes in wheel-shaped blocks.

According to The Straits Times, the cheese is produced in the Alpine regions of France and Switzerland and is known for its nutty flavor and gooey texture when melted.  

Now, cheese lovers do not need to go to Europe to sample it. The Jakarta Post has spotted two eateries that are serving raclette cheese in Jakarta.
