Everyone knows their Cheddar, right? But how do you know when you've got the authentic, farmhouse original -- the real deal? Cheddar is one of the most misunderstood cheeses out there, and the choices, much less the imitators, can be exhausting!

Last Time We Asked: Sure, fondue = melted cheese. But what is its history? Where does it come from? Why is it made?
Answer: Fondue was originally made in Switzerland as a way of using up hardened cheese. Derived from the French term fondre, meaning 'to melt', fondue was served as a peasant dish. Over the years, it has become a Swiss
tradition for the long cold winters deep in the mountains. It is warming,
rich, and quite versatile. Just about any cheese or combination of cheeses
may be used and your imagination is the limit with the vegetables and meats
that may be eaten with it.
