Of all the Swiss goods Americans adore — watches, chocolate, and pocket knives among them — Swiss cheese has to be high up on the list. Specifically melty and delicious cheese dishes like fondue and raclette, a meal that traditionally involves heating up a large half-wheel of cheese and scraping off the melted part to eat with potatoes, pickled onions, and mini gherkins.

In addition to raclette baguettes with spring onions, baby gherkins, and dijon mustard, Baked Cheese Haus’s raclette stands serve dishes like cheesy alpine brats and french onion soup topped with raclette cheese, plus cheese-free hot apple cider chai to wash it down.
But there’s more to the brand than Swiss cheese.
