Switzerland and Savoie’s great communal table ritual — the wheel of Raclette cheese melted under heat, scraped tableside onto plates and paired with cold cuts, cornichons, and pickled onions. The keto raclette replaces the traditional boiled potatoes with roasted cauliflower florets and crunchy celery, losing nothing in pleasure.

Health Benefits
- Raclette cheese is rich in calcium and phosphorus.
- Traditional charcuterie like Bayonne ham and saucisson sec is naturally cured without excess additives.
- Cornichons contribute tang and crunch with minimal carbohydrates; note that most commercial cornichons are vinegar-brined rather than lacto-fermented, so live probiotic content varies.
