Raclette: high in histamine and tyramine. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)High
Raclette is a washed-rind cheese aged three to six months, which would place its histamine in the middle of this group - but it is eaten melted, by the scraping, in quantities no one would eat cold. The portion is what puts it where it is, not the concentration.

- TyramineHigh
Raclette is aged three to six months, which would place it mid-range - but it is eaten melted, by the scraping, in quantities nobody would eat cold. On an axis where the tyramine dose decides whether a reaction is discomfort or a crisis, the portion is the whole point.
