OKA CHEESE FONDUE



Oka Cheese Fondue image

This recipe is posted in response to a request in the French Cheese of the Week thread of the French, Creole and Cajun Cuisine forum. Oka cheese is a French Canadian cheese named after the small village of Oka, Quebec where it originated in 1893. Oka cheese is a Port-de-Salut style cheese and was originally made by Trappist Monks at the Abbaye Cistercienne d'Oka, using a recipe they brought from Brittany. It has a pungent aroma and soft creamy flavour, sometimes described as nutty and fruity. This recipe comes from the Agropur Company, which is the company which has taken over the production of Oka cheeses. I like this recipe primarily because of the taste, but also because it showcases some wonderful Canadian cheese and wines.

Get together with friends around the ultimate sharing dish - a classic cheese fondue. Enjoy with crusty bread, boiled potatoes, crudités and pickles

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Dinner

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

200ml dry white wine
1 tbsp lemon juice
200g comte or gruyère, grated
200g emmental, grated
2 tsp cornflour
1 tbsp kirsch or schnapps
1 garlic clove, halved (optional)
crusty bread, boiled new potatoes, vegetable crudités and cornichons, to serve

Steps:

  • Pour the wine and lemon juice into a heavy-based pan over a medium-low heat and warm until steaming. Add all of the cheese, a handful at a time, whisking between each addition until all the cheese has been added. Continue to stir for 4-5 mins until everything is fully melted, smooth and creamy. Mix the cornflour with the kirsch in a small bowl, then stir this into the cheese mixture. Continue to cook over a low heat for a minute more.
  • Rub the garlic on the inside of the fondue pot, if you like, then carefully pour the cheese mixture into the pot and immediately place it over the flame. (If you don't have a fondue set, add the garlic along with the wine in step one, then remove and discard it before you add the kirsch mixture.) Serve immediately with crusty bread, boiled new potatoes, vegetable crudités or cornichons for dunking, if you like. You can place the fondue back over a low heat if you need to reheat it after serving.
