A raclette is a convivial and gourmet meal. It is therefore important to carefully plan the quantity of cheese raclette necessary so that everyone can feast according to their appetite.
Indeed, you don't want your guests to run out of cheese and the evening to turn into a fiasco!
So, how much cheese should be provided per person?
Everything depends :
- the number of people you invite
- of their appetite
- if you plan to make a dried meat, raw ham and Valais sausage aperitif before!
With a raclette oven with half a wheel of cheese
It takes half a wheel of cheese raclette (about 2.4kg) to serve about 10 people.
So you have to count per person:
- 240g of cheese (60g per raclette)
- 300gr of potato
- 80 grams of pickles/onions
The average number of raclettes consumed per guest is around 4
With a "raclonnette" style oven

Attention
This amount may vary depending on the type of cheese you are using. Indeed, some cheeses are fattier or tastier than others, so guests will be satiated more quickly.
