Time to get your cheese on! Make fondue at home for a fun and tasty activity the whole family can enjoy. Fondü by Emmi is a ready-to-serve melted cheese sauce: all you have to do is heat, stir, and serve. It’s made with fresh milk and artisan, aged cheeses from Switzerland, and carefully crafted according to a generations-old recipe. Get the kids involved in choosing and preparing your dipping ingredients! The options are endless: whole wheat bread, apples, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, potatoes. There’s no doubt that everyone will be screaming, “More cheese please!”

The Creative Kitchen is excited to use Fondü by Emmi in our Whole Foods cooking classes the week of September 16th. Check out our class calendar here!

From the Mouth of a Kid:

Fondü is cheesy and warm and gooey and makes everything taste good!

From the Eyes of a Parent:

Emmi Fondü is a fun, hands-on way to cook and share a meal with my entire family. We usually eat our Fondü with fresh vegetables, fruit, and potatoes. My kids love the whole process so much and have such a great time eating it that they even wind up fighting over the vegetables!

The Icing on the Cake:

Emmi Fondü comes fully prepared, so making it is just a two-step process that takes only ten minutes.

Mix it Up!

Try using Emmi Fondü as a spread on warm sandwiches or stirred into pasta as a richer, meltier version of mac and cheese.
