This elegant Oka cheese fondue offers a sophisticated twist on a classic vegetarian sharing dish. By blending the mild, nutty profile of Oka or Port-Salut with a crisp dry white wine and the concentrated sweetness of Canadian ice wine, you create a complex and luxurious flavour. The result is a smooth, velvety dip that feels far more indulgent than its simple preparation suggests, making it an excellent choice for festive gatherings or an intimate winter supper.
Quick to prepare on the hob before transferring to a communal pot, this crowd-pleasing dish is best enjoyed with a variety of textures.

It is a wonderful way to bring people together for a relaxed, interactive meal that celebrates high-quality ingredients.
