We opted for a classic 1:2 ratio of wine to cheese. 300ml white wine. 600g of cheese. With 440g of Jarlsberg cheese and 160g of Champagne Cheddar from the 4 Cheese Selection pack. Lemon juice, corn starch, some nutmeg and a tiny bit of pepper. We decided to try and be as “local” as possible so we tried out some local steamed bread, the local pan-fried bread, local sausages, some local pickled garlic and a bunch of fresh vegetables.
The process of preparing the Fondue was actually very easy. 10 minutes of preparation to grate the cheese and wash the vegetables. About 15 minutes of time to warm the wine and melt in the cheese. (Most recipes suggest to add the cheese in gradually. We just threw it all in on top of the warmed wine and there was no problem with that!) Then we were ready for an hour of cheesy indulgence.
The only mistake we made was the choice of wine. The person (who shall not be named, for fear of shaming him) who was tasked with bringing the wine brought semi-sweet white. It wasn’t a terrible choice and the end result was still edible – but it would have been significantly better with a dry white wine. We had to fix the wine on the fly with Campari to take away the sweetness.
Lesson learned. For our taste preference, it absolutely should be dry white wine for both the Fondue and to drink alongside it.

Our fondue evening was a roaring success! Our boys reckon this is the best meal I’ve ever prepared for them. We used the Jarlsberg cheese with blue Stilton and the African whisper wine and our dishes comprised of the following: Fried potatoes, prawns, asparagus, bacon, asparagus wrapped in bacon, sausages, mushrooms and steak strips. We also added some fresh crushed garlic to the dishes while preparing them. The flame is a perfect heat as we prepared it inside at the dining room table and we give this meal and idea a solid 10/10. Thank you for the amazing idea. We’ll be doing this as a regular event at our house for sure.

We had the fondue on Sunday, the recipe was 350g Jarlsberg, 100g Comte and 150g sharp cheddar. This, with the wine and brandy, made quite a sweet fondue. We reheated it last night and only used cheddar to top it up (and a splash of wine) and this balanced out the flavour more to our tastes. So that’s a good tip for anyone from our experience. Brandy can make it a little bit too sweet, so if that’s not to your liking, skip the brandy for sure.
In all, it was a nice evening for us. A much more sociable way to eat dinner for sure and it was really good fun. That’s our spread down there in the picture below – dead centre.

Being Danish and a cheese and wine lover, I was keen to try this as part of the Fondue Pilot group (AKA “guinea pigs”) and I’m happy to say it was a good decision. The process to make the Fondue was surprisingly easy. A bit of time before to prepare some meat and vegetables so maybe 40 minutes altogether. We chose a mixture of meat and salad vegetables and it works really well for us.
I’d be keen to try other combinations of cheese next time and perhaps a few drops of sesame oil in the fondue, or some garlic salt.
That’s us down there on the photo below – one picture down from top left.

As a Texan, there was little surprise that there was going to be steak in our fondue. We added some salad vegetables and some toasted french bread. The texture of the toasted bread does make a really interesting difference. I know that traditionally the Swiss would use hard or stale bread so this was our way to try and replicate that.
I think the quality of the cheese is really important with Fondue and the quality was here. I could imagine this might be a bit ghastly if it was prepared with those cheap processed cheeses. Jarlsberg and Comte were EXACTLY what was needed here.
Pierre – Jiangsu
Cheese and wine in most combinations is something I’m all over. I was happy to see this deal become available – it just needed barbecued meat and I was more than happy to bring that to the table. We went for steak, boerewors, roasted potatoes and homemade meatballs. There was some bread involved in there somewhere too. Great night. Great meal. This is our new monthly social for sure. That’s our spread down in the photo below. Top center.

We ate our fondue with apples, a sourdough onion loaf, broccoli and cherry tomatoes. It was a lovely date night at home, and we have supplies left for another. The only thing that was a little tricky was keeping the fuel lit (we were outside on our balcony). We will definitely recommend this kit to others.

What a wonderful kit. The taste of the fondue was rich and absolutely delicious. The quality of the kit was above and beyond expectations. We simply added some vegetables, some bread and some beef and it was a perfect meal. That’s me down there in the photo below – second in from the left

I’m crazy about cheese so this was a no brainer for me. Loved it, and will be doing this again.

Lots of fun! Something to heat up and get going on your table while you chat and drink wine. Great way to eat the Jarlsburg, brings out its nutty complexity much more than eating it cold. Dipped breads, vegetables taste great. Not at all difficult to set up. Careful with the chafing flame!

Whoever came up with this idea deserves a trophy! We had an amazing evening full of laughs, wine, German sausages, asparagus tips, mushrooms, steak and prawns as well as some roasted potatoes and would do this every night if we could. I would recommend this product to everyone with a smile.

.. we had fun in preparing all the ingredients for the Fondue. Some ingredients came with Fondue, others we bought. Totally a mix of raw / cooked vegetables plus several types of meat. Several bottles of wine went down as well. A super occasion to sit and talk.
We strongly recommend this starter kit. Henry Wolff / The Dane

My wife and I love cheese, so when we heard about this fondue set, we were all in! This already great deal was made even sweeter by the variety of wines and cheeses that came with this set. We made ours and matched it with fresh-baked bread and a lot of veggies. It was easy even for beginners like us. The only difficulty we had was keeping the flame lit, but doubling up the fuel solved that minor problem. It was a great hit and we are already looking forward to the next fondue night!

Indeed it is a wonderful way to share with friends and loved ones and enjoy over some great wines. We love light and dry white wines, so fondue is a perfect way to share.

我是一个很喜欢吃火锅的人，这次是我第一次尝试奶酪火锅。其实对于中式火锅而言，奶酪火锅是一个把熟的东西变得更好吃且富有魔性的过程。在食材方面，我喜欢自己去改变：①把新疆的饼和羊油一起混合烤出的馕，在奶酪火锅里沉浸10秒左右，会让馕里的孔喝进6分饱的奶浆，那种爆浆而且有富有香酥的感觉，让人欲罢不能。②酸甜的意大利波鹏奇尼辣椒与奶酪火锅的融合，我用煮熟的牡蛎填入波鹏奇尼中，并且让奶浆侵入辣椒的每一角落，冷藏的辣椒和沸腾的芝士，使得常温的牡蛎会变得温和，一口咬下去，开始是辣椒的酸甜，其次是奶酪的那股醇香，紧接着是蒜和葡萄酒的甜，最后是牡蛎Q弹的清爽。③这是个重口味的搭配，将五花肉放入大把花椒水煮熟，然后切片放入平底锅中用小米椒垫底，煎至两面金黄，在锅中一涮，那种麻辣麻辣的奶香会想火一样的浇灌着你的舌头，这时候来杯白葡萄的清爽，口中会留下浓郁的香辛料味和酒香。我很期待下次能试试蓝纹奶酪火锅带来新的快乐🙂🙂🙂

I havent had fondue in more than 10 years and i was so excited i almost didn’t wait for the cheese to completely melt. There is a nice combination of cheeses for the fondue, the wine paired with. i ate it withe bread only but goes well with potatoes.
Despite not being made of ceramic, the pot is very easy to clean and it was my first concern before buying, not its my last
