Swiss Cheese Fondue

Cultural Context

Fondue originated in the Swiss Alps, where it was a practical way to use up leftover cheese and bread during cold winters. Traditionally enjoyed in social settings, fondue brings people together as they dip and share from a communal pot. Today, it has gained global popularity, with variations including chocolate and broth fondues, making it a versatile dish for gatherings.
