Fondue

Savoyarde Fondue, Haute Savoie

The melted cheese dish known as fondue is a traditional tasty delight from the Savoyard region of France.

The origins of the cheese fondue can be found in Switzerland, France (Rhone Alps) and Italy (Piedmont and Aosta Valley). The earliest known recipe for fondue as we know it today was found in Zurich in a book published in 1699. Not surprisingly the Fondue Savoyarde contains cheeses from the Haute Savoie and Savoie regions of the Rhone-Alps. These are typically Beaufort, Comte and Tomme de Savoie.

The word fondue is a French word meaning melted which is derived from the verb Fondre (to melt). Cheese fondue is normally cooked on a portable stove brought to the table to create a sociable meal of dipping pieces of bread on long forks into the delicious melted cheese and wine mixture.

What is leftover cheese fondue I hear you cry! Well one of my lifelong traits is to over cater, which is exactly what I did recently when making a big pot of cheese fondue for a group of friends. I made my Savoyard cheese fondue using my Taste of Savoie recipe (link)

So I had quite a lot of leftover cheese fondue to work through. You can save your cheese fondue in the fridge quite safely for a few days, best in a sealed container. Do make sure it is cold before refrigerating.
