what is the best cheese for making fondu?

Answer 1

For a traditional Swiss fondue, the best cheeses to get are Gruyere and emmental, using slightly more Gruyere. Wipe a cut garlic clove around the inside of the pan before you heat the wine, it adds a bit of flavour, without being too overpowering.

If you fancy something a bit different, try Gruyere and a smokey cheese like Monterrey Jack and add some cooked diced smoked bacon. Yummy!

Answer 2

gruyere style cheese are great for fondues.
two especially tasty french gruyere style cheeses are comte and beaufort.
Also vacherin (also known as mont d'or) is still in season at the moment and you can have a fondue without the fondue kit by buying a mini vacherin, whisking some white wine into it and popping it in its wooden box with a tin foil cover into the oven to bake for about 15-20 minutes.

Answer 3

Gruyere, fontina, Jarlsberg. Any chees that melts smoothly and has a strong eonugh flavor to balance what you are dipping in (breads, fruit, meat) and drinking with.(wine or beer)

Answer 4

Lancashire. Lancashire cheese for all occasions. Other cheeses are inferior to Lancashire cheese. You can't beat Lancashire cheese, for eating, cooking, shining shoes or repairing windows.
