Cheese Fondue

Fondue-810

The Cheese Fondue is all the rage again! Demand for cheese fondue recipes and ingredients has increased lately with these chilly evenings or fun times at lunch. If you have never tried give this a go.

For 4 people: (800g - 1kg cheese)
 

  • 1 garlic clove
  • 50ml or ¼ cup kirsh/white wine
  • 2 tsp. cornflour
  • 1 pack Karikaas Fondue Maasdam shredded/chopped
  • 1 pack Karikaas Gouda Young shredded/chopped
  • 1 pack Karikaas Gouda Vintage (Best Dutch cheese in NZ 2022) shaved/zested
  • 1¼ cup Sauvignon Blanc
  • Artisan bread, cut in cubes
  • Raw or cooked vegetables and / or fruit (optional)
  • You will need a pot with a thick bottom or a rounded ceramic pot and a spirit burner to keep the cheese warm.
  • Method:

    1. Rub the inside of the pot with the garlic clove. Discard the garlic. In a small bowl, dissolve the corn flour in the wine. Set aside.
    2. Put the pot on a medium-heat.
    3. Stir while heating, until the cheeses melt. For ease, first add the Young Gouda, when melted add the chopped Fondue Maasdam, and finally the Gouda vintage.
    4. Then add the kirsch/wine cornflour mix and keep stirring until the sauce is smooth and bubbly. This takes about 20 minutes.
    5. Finally add the remaining wine if you wish, and stir until the consistency is right for you.
    6. When ready, set your pot on the burner to keep the fondue warm while you’re eating it, (or if you don’t have a burner re-heat from time to time on the stove) but make sure the cheese doesn’t burn at the bottom. Stir it now and again. Use forks/skewers to dip bread or vegetables in the cheese.
    7. Enjoy your meal!
