NATIONAL FUN WITH FONDUE MONTH

National Fun with Fondue Month in November directs you to do just that. Find a recipe and get dipping! There's a variety for every appetite.

#FunWithFondueMonth

Fondue derives its name from the French word "fondre" which means "to melt." It's a dish of melted ingredients, such as cheese or chocolate that is served in a communal pot (caquelon) over a small portable stove (réchaud). Participants then dip the bread into the cheese using long-stemmed forks. Cheese fondue consists of a blend of cheeses, wine, and seasoning.

3 Common Types of Fondue

  1. Cheese - The oldest fondue style and believed to have been developed by the Swiss, cheese is versatile. Blend a variety of cheese choices with white wine and dip vegetables, meat, and pieces of bread to have a complete fondue experience.

  2. Oil - While the French originally developed this savory fondue option for steak, we are only limited by our imagination. Add seasonings, dipping sauces and your choice of protein and the fondue celebration begins!

  3. Chocolate - When the United States discovered fondue, they added dessert. Dip fruit, pretzels, or cake bites. There's really no limit to what we will fondue.
