It’s a fairly accepted fact that cheese makes everything better. Whether on its own or alongside basically anything, cheese is always a great idea. Of course, we love cheese atop our pizza or piled on top of our coneys or 3-ways, but have you ever had true artisanal cheese? These flavor-packed bites of heaven will change everything you think about cheese and you can try some of the best in the country at The Rhined in OTR. The Rhined also offers a special Raclette night in Cincinnati and if you don’t know what that is, you’ll want to. Imagine having cheese melted all over your plate, atop delicious meats and veggies, and you can experience it right here in the Queen City.
The Rhined is an artisanal cheese shop in Over-the-Rhine that offers so much more than an amazingly appropriate name.
You've tasted cheese, and then you've tasted cheese at The Rhined. You can walk in and talk all things cheese with the staff, enjoy a flight of cheese, a glass of wine, and so much more.
The knowledgeable (and fun) staff is one of many reasons the city has fallen in love with this little cheese shop.
They are also the ones with the cheese, so you want to make friends with them. The Rhined is a shop and restaurant in one, so you can purchase cheese to take home with you, but you can also enjoy their offerings inside at the counter and few tables.

Since fall, The Rhined has introduced a Raclette night in Cincinnati, which you'll probably recognize once you see the photos.
Raclette (pronounced ruh-klet) is a Swiss/French mountain tradition and we all know those countries know good cheese. A wheel of Raclette cheese is melted over an open fire and then scraped onto potatoes, pickled veggies, and ham.
This special offering is available on Wednesdays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. during the colder months, so through March. No reservations are necessary, so just head down with all of your cheese-loving friends.
There's a good chance you've seen a slow-motion video of this cheese being melted over food, as it's spreading like fire (pun intended) all over the country.
And as mouthwatering as these videos and photos are, actually tasting it is even better. All of the food is incredible on its own, so when you put the cheese, veggies, and meat together, you have an unforgettable dining experience.
If you happen to be near The Rhined on any other day of the week, you can still stop in for a deliciously cheesy snack or meal.
Ask about the sandwich of the week and feast your eyes on what is always a tasty combination. You can also order cheese flights, charcuterie, and of course a glass of wine or beer to go along with it.
The Rhined also makes the most beautiful cheese boards and even cheese "cakes" through their catering services.
Just beware — once you bring one of these mouthwatering boards to a gathering, you'll be asked to bring one to every single party from there on out! And it's because everyone loves cheese, whether it's melted over your meal or in bite-sized pieces, and The Rhined is a must-try cheese shop in Cincinnati.
If you appreciate cheese and it has a special place in your heart, then a visit to this incredibly delicious Raclette night in Cincinnati is a must. The Rhined is heaven on earth for any cheese lover and they are anxiously waiting to share these flavorful varieties with you in OTR.
