Classic Cheese Fondue Variations image

Most classic fondue recipes use Swiss or Swiss and Gruyere cheese. Not all cheese made good fondues and will separate into two layers of cheese and wine, or are too runny to be used. These various cheese have been tested and work well in the classic fondue recipe Brick makes a fondue that is moderately sharp about midway between cheddar and Limburger. Fontina has a delicate nutty flavor and muenster is mild.
