Originally, fondue was a practical meal solution for shepherds and farmers in the Alps, the humble fondue took on a new lease of life when it was popularized by the Swiss Cheese Union in the 1930’s as a clever way to increase consumption. The concept caught on, and the Swiss Army even included fondue on its menu in the 1950s to further confirm its place in the national culture.
