What Are The Different Types Of Fondue?

The most popular types of fondue are; cheese, chocolate, and meat. My go-to category for what to dip in fondue is bread. Dunk slices in the sauce, make sure you get some sauce with every bite.

What Are The Best Cheeses For Fondue?

Most recipes suggest using slices, or small cubes of cheese, to perfect cheese melting. I generally lean toward the softer, heartier, and less-processed cheese like Brie and Camembert. You can also indulge in cheeses like sharp cheddar, Manchego, Gruyere, and especially, Fontina. Also, feel free to switch up how you dip them.

Parmigiano Reggiano is the classic choice for cheesemongers and caterers for its soft, rich flavor and creamy texture. But if you want to dip those more giant cubes into melted cheese, those are a good choice too. Here are some options.
