Fondue Jurassienne

Jurassic Fondue

Fondue Jurassienne is made by rubbing a garlic clove around the inside of a fondue pot and then heating white wine in the pot. Once the wine is hot, grated Comté cheese is added and stirred until melted and smooth. The resulting fondue is creamy, nutty, and flavorful. It is traditionally served with cubes of bread for dipping. Fondue Jurassienne is a great way to enjoy the flavors of the Jura region.
