🧀 Let’s talk cheese—yesterday was International Raclette Day! 🧀

This iconic dish from the French Alps has been warming hearts for centuries. Its name comes from the French word racler, meaning "to scrape," a nod to its origins when Alpine shepherds would melt cheese by the fire and scrape it over potatoes or bread for a hearty meal.
