How should a Swiss fondue be?
HOW A GOOD FONDUE SHOULD BE
Are all cheeses good for making a fondue? Do they all melt the same way? What is recommended to eat it with? Hundreds of questions go through our heads to the inexperienced fondue, but everything has a trick.
To begin with, we must know that the most famous fondue is prepared in the Freiburg region and is called "moitié-motié" (half and half) , and is made with Gruyère and Vacherin Fribourgeois like that of The One.
These would be the two great cheeses although it can also be prepared with Emmentaler AOP, Raclette, Apenzeller, Tilister or Sbrinz AOP.
And although it may seem as easy as buying cheese and melting it, it is not that simple. The authentic Swiss fondue contains other ingredients, such as a splash of white wine and a lemon one, which can always be exchanged for the fruity flavored cider . There are people who also dare to spice them with cumin or curry.
And what about the companions? White bread is the best option , it can be cereal, country bread, baguette or gluten-free bread. The best thing is that it has a good crust and is somewhat hard , to better withstand the heat of the cheese.
To accompany her they go very well white wines, and even a light black tea can also be a good option.
