Cheese Fondue Fun Facts

  • Fondue dates back to the 18th century when both cheese and wine were important industries in Switzerland.
  • Modern fondue originated in Switzerland and more specifically in the Canton of Neuchatel. The dish consists of at least two varieties of cheeses that are melted with wine and a bit of flour and served communally out of pot called a "caquelon."
  • A recipe for a sauce made from Pramnos wine, grated goat's cheese and white flour appears in Scroll 11 (lines 629-645) of Homer's Iliad and has been cited as the earliest record of a fondue.
  • Fondue became popular in the U.S. during the mid-1960s after American tourists discovered it in Switzerland.
  • By way of returning soldiers and travelers, Swiss cheese fondue began showing up on menus at many of New York’s finest restaurants.
  • Over 100 varieties of cheese fondue exist, each with a unique name and different blend of cheeses, wine and seasoning.
