Classic Swiss Fondue

Cultural Context

Originating in the Swiss Alps, fondue is a traditional dish that brings people together around a communal pot of melted cheese. Historically, it was a way for farmers to use leftover cheese and bread during the cold winter months. Today, fondue is enjoyed worldwide, often served at gatherings and celebrations, with variations that include different cheeses and dipping items.
