Rich, melty, and made for sharing
Mountaineer is a semi hard Alpine style Tomme. At once both sweet and savoury with a very aromatic rind and a rich creamy texture. Mountaineer is a full flavoured table cheese made in the style of traditional alpine cheeses of the French and Swiss Alps. Sparkling wines make an ideal pairing.
Melt it over potatoes, layer it into your next toastie, or make it the hero of your next therapy night — however you enjoy it, this Raclette is a delicious reminder that simple pleasures are often the most satisfying.
Please note this cheese is not normally available in retail-sized portions. Luke and Vanessa have kindly allowed us to cut whole wheels into smaller portions for Cheese Therapy customers. While the packaging and labelling meet all legal requirements, we acknowledge that the presentation does not fully reflect the quality of the cheese inside.

Best before dates
All of our cheeses are shipped within their best before date. But with cheese, “best before” doesn’t mean “stop eating”, it really means “tasting great right now.”
Cheese is a living food. It continues to develop over time, which means many cheeses can still be enjoyed beyond their best before date as they mature.
We usually include a mix of cheeses at different stages so you can enjoy some straight away and save others for later. A little patience in the fridge comes with its own reward.
If you’d prefer all your cheeses young, or all ready to enjoy right now, just leave us a note at checkout and we’ll do our best to make it happen.
Our Mystery Boxes are discounted because they may include cheeses closer to their best before date. They’re still well within date when despatched, and at their most delicious.
