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.

1 garlic clove
200 g Emmentaler
200 g Gruyère
180 ml white wine
25 ml cherry spirit
1/2 tbsp corn starch
salt (optional)
pepper (optional)

Gruyère cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Cheddar is more affordable and widely available.

dry white wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic white wine

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Broth adds flavor without alcohol.

kirsch

🥗Healthier: cherry juice

💰Cheaper: water

Cherry juice maintains the fruity flavor.

1

Peel the garlic clove. Cut it in half crosswise.

2

Grate and mix the cheeses in the medium bowl.

3

Get the liquids and starch ready.

4

Rub the ceramic fondue pot with garlic from inside. Put the rest of the garlic through the garlic grinder and add it to the pot.

5

Turn on the heat to medium, add the wine and starch and mix until starch dissolves.

6

Add cheese and keep on mixing without the break until the cheese and wine-starch mixture combine. That might take 10-15 minutes so stay patient with it.

7

As soon as the ingredients combined add the cherry spirit and stir it in for another minute.

8

Turn the heat to low.

9

Serve immediately with bread and potatoes.
