Tovassière alpine pasture Raclette du Valais PDO

Perched at an altitude of 1700 meters above Morgins, in the They valley, the Tovassière alpine pasture stretches over 120 hectares up to the French-Swiss border, just a stone's throw from the Col des Portes du Soleil. Every summer, cows graze on rich and varied mountain grass, and it is this alpine milk, processed on-site from June to September, that gives this Raclette du Valais AOP its unique character. An artisanal, seasonal, and limited production, rooted in one of the most beautiful terroirs of the Valais Chablais.

Tovassière's Raclette du Valais AOP is a fatty, semi-hard cheese made from whole raw cow's milk according to the traditional Valais method. The alpine flora of the They valley is directly reflected in the cheese: a frank and balanced taste, creamy and melting, where lactic and fruity notes combine with vegetal aromas typical of high altitudes. The longer the aging, the stronger the character. This is exactly what one looks for in a true alpine raclette: a cheese that melts smoothly and reveals all its terroir.

The production of an alpine pasture is naturally limited, and these cheeses quickly find takers. This is why we are opening a pre-sale: you can now reserve your Tovassière cheese, made during the 2026 summer 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 until the descent. The cheeses are collected at the end of the summer, once their ripening process is complete, and then shipped to your home.
