Note

For best results, use a hard cheese that melts well, such as Gruyère or Emmental, if not specified by the original ingredient list.

Keep the fondue warm on a candle burner while serving to maintain the creamy consistency.

If the fondue becomes too thick, add a splash of warm milk or water to loosen it.

Ensure vegetables are thoroughly washed and dried before serving to prevent water from diluting the fondue.

Grissini sticks should be added just before serving to maintain their crunch.
