Fondue cheese is a creamy, melted blend typically made from Swiss cheeses like Gruyère and Emmental, combined with white wine, garlic, and a touch of cornstarch or flour for thickness. Originating in Switzerland, fondue is a staple of Alpine cuisine, often enjoyed as a communal dish where bread, vegetables, or meat are dipped into the warm cheese mixture. While fondue cheese is a source of calcium and protein, it can be high in saturated fat and sodium, depending on the type and quantity of cheese used. The addition of white wine contributes to its distinct flavor but also adds alcohol, though it cooks down during preparation. Moderation is key when enjoying fondue cheese, as its richness can make it calorie-dense. Pairing it with whole-grain bread or fresh vegetables can enhance its nutritional profile while balancing indulgence with healthier options.
