Once A Staple Food, Now A Valentine Delight

Since local villagers had low access to food and they had to feed on bread even if it gets hard like rock. To soften the bread, they dipped into hot melted cheese and it turned into a yummy recipe.

Soon it became popular among Swiss people and even marketers got an opportunity to boost the cheese sale in the Swiss market. During 60s and 70s, it reached to Americans and they loved this gooey, rich, and cheesy dip. Later, they replaced the tradition cheese with chocolate and that's how we got chocolate fondue.
