{"product_id":"raclette-alpage-champsot2","title":"Raclette du Valais AOP, Alpine cheese from Champsot 2","description":"\u003ch2\u003eChampsot 2 Alpine Raclette du Valais AOP: Three Generations above Morgins\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery spring, the Dubosson family ascends to an altitude of 1,600 meters along the Champsot road, above Morgins. For three generations, the milk from cows grazing these Dents du Midi alpine pastures has been transformed on-site at the chalet, in a cauldron heated over a wood fire. Benjamin Dubosson crafts an Alpine Raclette du Valais AOP there, awarded the Silver Star by the Raclette du Valais AOP interprofession. This is a summer pasture cheese, produced only in summer, and unavailable the rest of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAn Alpine Cheese Made from Raw Milk, Cooked Over a Wood Fire\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChampsot 2 — the alpine pasture also bears the number Dents du Midi 12 in the AOP register — is an alpine pasture for 90 head of cattle. All the milk is processed raw and whole, directly after milking, with not a single liter going down into the valley. Cooking over a wood fire, which has become rare today, gives the semi-hard cheese its aromatic depth: a smooth and shiny melt, a distinct taste of high-altitude pasture, never aggressive or rubbery. This is the signature of an authentic alpine raclette, the kind that is scraped from a half-wheel in front of a fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Pre-Order Your Champsot 2 Cheese\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlpine pasture production is inherently limited: cheese is only made during the few weeks of summer grazing, and the number of pieces reserved for Misterraclette is deliberately restricted. By ordering today, you reserve your half-piece or whole piece from the 2026 season, and you follow the entire story of the season, from the ascent to the alpine pasture (inalpe) to the descent (désalpe). The pieces are collected at the end of summer, once the aging process is complete, and then shipped to your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCharacteristics and Description of Champsot 2 Alpine Raclette du Valais AOP\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheese:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raclette du Valais AOP d'alpage (Alpine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champsot 2 alpine pasture (Dents du Midi 12), Dubosson family, Morgins \/ Troistorrents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,600 meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eMilk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raw and whole, cow's milk, processed on-site at the alpine pasture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional, cooked over a wood fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eTexture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-hard, rich cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distinct and characteristic, smooth and creamy melt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e 🥈 Silver Star — Raclette du Valais AOP interprofession\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Half-piece or whole piece ready for raclette, vacuum-sealed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional in cellar, minimum 3 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 to 8 months in a cool place, away from light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer alpine pasture, 2026 season — limited quantity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eSales Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-order \/ Reservation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Between early October and October 15, 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eExperience Champsot 2 Alpine Pasture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Thursday evening in July and August, the Dubosson family opens their alpine chalet in collaboration with the tourist office: discovery of the milking process, visit of the alpine pasture, followed by an all-you-can-eat raclette at the chalet.
