Frequently Asked Questions About Fondue
What is fondue?
Fondue is a communal dish in which cheese is melted, traditionally with white wine, and kept warm in a shared pot. Diners dip pieces of bread into it using long forks; chocolate and oil fondues are other well-known styles.
How do you make cheese fondue?
Rub a pot with garlic, then warm white wine gently and gradually stir in grated cheese until smooth. Keep the heat low and avoid boiling. Serve the melted cheese hot with bread cubes and long fondue forks.
What is the best cheese for fondue?
Gruyère and Emmental are classic choices because they melt smoothly and their flavors work well together. Other Alpine cheeses can be blended in, but very fresh or poorly melting cheeses may make the fondue stringy or uneven.
What do you dip in fondue besides bread?
Boiled baby potatoes, apple slices, cooked vegetables, and firm-cooked meats can all be dipped in cheese fondue. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and keep them dry so they hold on a fork and do not water down the cheese.
What can you use instead of wine in fondue?
Use alcohol-free white wine or broth with a little lemon juice instead of wine in fondue. The mild acidity helps balance the cheese, while adding the liquid gradually makes it easier to control the final consistency.
Why is my cheese fondue grainy or separated?
Cheese fondue often turns grainy or separates when it gets too hot or the cheese is added too quickly. Grate the cheese, stir it in gradually over low heat, and do not let the mixture boil.
Can you make fondue without a fondue pot?
Yes, you can make fondue in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring it to the table on a heatproof surface and keep it gently warm with a safe low-heat source; strong direct heat can scorch the cheese or make it separate.
How do you store leftover fondue?
Cool leftover fondue promptly, transfer it to a covered container, and refrigerate it. It will firm up as it chills, so plan to loosen it with a little liquid when reheating rather than serving it cold as a dip.
How do you reheat cheese fondue without splitting it?
Reheat cheese fondue slowly in a saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously. Add a small splash of wine, milk, or broth if it is too thick. Avoid high heat, which can separate the cheese and make the texture oily.
Where did cheese fondue originate?
Cheese fondue originated in Switzerland and became a way to serve melted cheese with bread. Traditional versions use local Alpine cheeses and white wine, with diners sharing one heated pot at the table.

What is Fondue?
Fondue is a Swiss dish of melted cheese, commonly loosened with white wine and served in a communal pot. Diners dip bite-sized pieces of bread into the warm cheese; potatoes are another traditional accompaniment in some settings.
Its flavour is savoury and tangy, with a thick, smooth texture that makes it a leisurely meal to share. It is enjoyed at home and in restaurants in Switzerland, and works well as a sociable centrepiece for a gathering elsewhere, too. Fondue is rich in fat and provides protein, while bread supplies much of the meal’s carbohydrate. For a lighter spread, serve smaller portions with vegetables and a crisp salad alongside.
