It is there, in the heart of a nature reserve spanning nearly 1,500 hectares, that Gaëtan Cardinaux produces his Raclette du Valais AOP from raw milk every summer. And not just any raclette: the Tanay alpine pasture raclette was crowned world champion at the Morgins Raclette World Championships, in the raw milk alpine raclette category. A rare cheese, made only during the summer pasturing season, impossible to find the rest of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAn Award-Winning and Fully Traceable Raw Milk Alpine Cheese\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaclette du Valais AOP from Tanay is a fatty, semi-hard cheese, made with whole raw cow's milk using the traditional Valaisan method. The cows graze on the exceptional flora of the Tanay nature reserve, and this alpine richness is directly reflected in the cheese: a melt-in-your-mouth, creamy texture on the palate, a frank character, and a beautiful scent of high pasture herbs. This quality has been recognized at the highest level, making Tanay a benchmark among Valaisan alpine raclettes. The longer the aging process, the more pronounced the character becomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Pre-Order Your Tanay Cheese\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlpine pasture production is inherently limited: cheese is only made from early June to mid-September, during the summer pasturing season, and these award-winning pieces are quickly snatched up. That's why we are opening a pre-order: reserve your half-wheel of Tanay now, made during the 2026 summer pasturing season. By ordering today, you are not just reserving a cheese—you are following the entire story of the season, from the ascent to the alpine pasture (inalpe) to the descent (désalpe). The cheeses are collected at the end of summer, once their aging is complete, then shipped to your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCharacteristics and Description of Raclette du Valais AOP from Tanay Alpine Pasture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheese:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raclette du Valais AOP from alpine pasture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tanay alpine pasture, Gaëtan Cardinaux (Vouvry, Valaisan Chablais)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eMilk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raw and whole cow's milk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eTexture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-hard, fatty cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e Melt-in-your-mouth and creamy, frank character, scent of alpine herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistinction:\u003c\/strong\u003e World champion — Morgins Raclette World Championships, raw milk alpine raclette category\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Half-wheel or whole wheel ready for raclette, vacuum-sealed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional, minimum 3 months for raclette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 to 8 months in a cool, dark place\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\u003eDelivery and Returns\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour cheese will be delivered between early October and October 15, 2026, after the descent from the alpine pasture (désalpe) and once the aging process is complete.
