As the nights grow longer and the air turns crisp, it’s the perfect time to gather around the table for something warm, gooey, and irresistibly cheesy. Whether it’s a bubbling pot of fondue shared with friends or a sizzling Raclette spread enjoyed solo, these classic dishes bring comfort to any chilly evening.
Create your own cozy night in by pairing melted cheese with your favourite deli meats, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread. If the idea of making fondue sounds intimidating, we’ve got you covered. Pre-made fondue kits make it easy to enjoy a no-fuss meal that feels restaurant-worthy. Want to make it your own? Simply shred in a little extra cheese of your choice and stir to customize the flavour.
To finish, pour yourself a glass of off-dry white or red wine, or toast the night with a sparkling apple cider. It’s the perfect way to cap off a comforting evening of melt-worthy indulgence.
An 18-month-aged Gouda from the Netherlands, Beemster Classic is a cheese worth savouring. Its firm yet creamy texture is dotted with delightful, crunchy crystals that form during aging, delivering a smooth, warm brown butter flavour with hints of caramel.
As an added bonus, it’s lactose free, making it a perfect pick for those with sensitivities. Pair it with your favourite whisky or a bold red wine for a dessert-like experience that’s truly unforgettable.
