Cheese Fondue
The word fondue is derived from the French word "fondre" which means, “melt". Well-known variations include traditional melting cheeses such as Comte, Gruyere, Raclette, Emmenthal, Tilsit, Beaufort, Fontina...etc. Make this as the weather cools down for the ultimate change-of-seasons, indulgence.
