Cheese fondue originated in the Swiss Alps as a way for shepherds to use up hardened cheese and stale bread during the winter months. The dish gained popularity in the 1930s when Swiss chefs began serving it in their restaurants. Today, it's a beloved communal dish, perfect for social gatherings. The best cheese fondue can be found in the Alpine regions of Switzerland, where local cheeses like Gruyère and Emmental are used. The key to a perfect fondue lies in the quality of the cheese and the right balance of wine and seasonings. For a twist, some chefs add a splash of kirsch for a subtle fruity flavor.
