Food worth SHARING

A fabulous fondue of bread with melted Le Gruyère AOP is a decadent way to delight a dinner-party crowd

Arranging a lovely cosy get-together with friends is the best way to spend the chillier autumn months. Your favourite people at the table, lit by candles and each other’s company, good food, good wine, good conversation. But with everything else going on this month, it can be hard to find energy to cook, which is why Le Gruyère AOP is the ideal autumn time-saver. It’s the perfect centrepiece in a fondue, rich and decadent and indulgent. And when turning to the throwback of a retro fondue, why not look back a little further into the past? For Le Gruyère AOP has been made the same way for 900 years, its creamy texture coming direct from the hillside villages of western Switzerland, where it was first created. Given pride of place on cheeseboards, added to soups or sandwiches, or melted into a delicious molten liquid sauce as a fondue, it’s guaranteed to please the crowds and fill you with festive joy.
