About fondue:

The word fondue is a derivative of the French word “fonder,” which means "to melt." The cooking method of fondue dates back to the 18th century when both cheese and wine were important industries in Switzerland. The traditional Swiss-style fondue is a combination of two cheeses, Gruyere and Emmenthaler.
