fondue cheese

Heated alpine dip

Fondue cheese is cheese intended for fondue—typically a blend of Swiss varieties like Gruyère and Emmental that melt smoothly when heated with wine.

The term may describe pre-shredded cheese mixtures sold for this purpose or simply cheese suitable for the dish: Pick up some fondue cheese for the party.
