    Same for raclette. That’s a process, not a cheese name. Might as well call Gruyere “fondue cheese”

      I also laugh when folks refer to a cheese variety as “goat.”

      (A goat is not cheese)

      But, in Switzerland we have type of cheese we call “fromage a raclette”, so even if it’s a process, we wouldn’t use Emmentaler or gruyere for making a raclette.
