Today a review on one of my favourite meals: cheese fondue.
In Dutch supermarkets you'll find about three brands of cheese fondue. The cheese fondue I have reviewed is one of them:
Emmi's Swiss Fondue
This fondue comes in packages of 400 grams. The box says one package is enough for 2 persons, but I bought two for two persons, you can never have enough cheese!
To heat the cheese, I put it in a fondue pan and put it on the stove. In about 8-10 minutes your cheese fondue will be ready to be served. Be sure to stirr it well while heating it or a lot off the cheese will stick at the bottom of the pan.. waste of cheese, we do not want thant to happen, right? While you are heating your fondue, you can put some bread in the oven and chop some veggies in pieces, so you can dip them in the cheese later.
Once you have finished heating your cheese, be sure to keep it warm while eating.
I always put in one of these things:
This cheese fondue seems to have a really nice stucture, it isn't too soft, so all the cheese would dripp of your bread and not too thick. Looks good!
What I use to dip in the cheese is simply some bread and some raw cauliflower.
Just as easy as that! You could also dip small tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, ham, salami, whatever you like! I always like to keep it simple, for me it is all about the cheese.
Now, let's put a piece of bread on a fork and dip it...
Looking good, right?
The taste of the cheese is delicious!! It's a perfect mixture of cheese and wine, neither of them is dominant. The cheese still has a nice structure, it's fluid with no chunks in it. If there is something I really hate... cheese fondue with chunks, yikes!
Be sure so stir the cheese about every 4-5 minutes, so it won't stick to the bottom of your pan too much and to avoid a crust on the cheese.
After about half an our, we were done eating. We had eaten about three quarters off the cheese, so I would recommend byuing two packages, instead of one.
The price of one package of Emmi's cheese fondue is about 4 euro's. So a simple meal of cheese fondue for 2-3 persons will cost you about 10 euro's. Maybe not a student-friendly price, but it is so good, I love to pay the 10 euro's!
I really really liked this Emmi cheese fondue! I have tasted some other brands in the past, but this one really stands out. The taste is delicious and well balanced, the structure is good (no chunks!), it's just yummie!
I would really recommend this easy meal if you do have a lot of time to cook, but still want a delicious meal with a real Swiss taste.
Love it!
I hope you found this review useful and I really to hope to see you next time!
