La Fondue Traditionnelle Savoyarde

Genuine emblematic dish of the Alps, Savoyard fondue embodies the conviviality and warmth meals in the mountains; ideal for facing winters that linger a little. Traditionally a blend of melted Savoy cheeses such as Comté, Beaufort and Emmental, we're giving it a local flavor by featuring Clos-des-Roches from Fromagerie des Grondines.

To create a complete and typical taste experience, we suggest serving it with pieces of bread from your baker, your favorite charcuterie and a nice portion of fresh grapes.
