Ingredients: Traditionally, Assiette Valaisanne consists of local specialties such as dried meat (such as viande séchée), raw ham, dried bacon and sausage (e.g. saucisson). This is usually served with Valais alpine cheese such as raclette cheese, cornichons (pickles), pearl onions and bread, often with rye bread.

Presentation: Everything is beautifully and conveniently presented on a plate, often in a circular pattern. This is a cold dish usually served as an appetizer or light meal.

Taste: The combination of the salty, savory meat with the creamy cheese and crispy bread creates a perfectly balanced taste experience.
