Swiss Cheese Fondue

Cheese fondue is not a dish for single households – the dish is made for sharing and it needs a convivial crowd. This recipe from the Fondue Academy in Gruyère, Switzerland, is the real deal, made with the proper local cheeses. It makes just the right amount for four people.

400 g Gruyère AOP cheese, grated

  • Add the two types of cheese and the cornflour and mix to combine.
  • Put the caquelon over medium heat and mix, stirring constantly, until the cheeses have melted. Don't let it overheat.
