The 100% Beaufort fondue is a revisited version of the traditional Savoyard fondue . It showcases the delicious products of our region such as Beaufort cheese, white wine and country bread. Beaufort cheese is known for its mild and creamy taste, and for its melting texture when melted. The 100% Beaufort fondue is therefore very tasty and substantial.
100% Beaufort fondue offers an opportunity to warm up winter evenings and gather with loved ones while enjoying a comforting dish.

Oh, and what do you drink with fondue?
Roussette de Savoie is an excellent choice to accompany fondue because of its fruity aromas and acidity which contrast with the creamy and smooth texture of Beaufort.
Our white wines from Savoie made from the Jacquère grape variety are also perfect:
