Cheddar fondue

Cheddar fondue is a warm, melted cheese dish made primarily from cheddar cheese, combined with ingredients like white wine, garlic, and sometimes a splash of liquor such as brandy. The mixture is heated until smooth and creamy, creating a dip. Usually served in a communal pot called a caquelon, it encourages sharing and dipping pieces of bread, vegetables, or meats into the melted cheese using long forks or skewers. The rich, savory flavor of cheddar offers a comforting, indulgent experience, blending sharpness with smooth texture—a popular feature of social gatherings and casual dining.
