Discover all the secrets of this dish, a local speciality made with Abondance cheese. Take part in its preparation, then share a moment of conviviality around its tasting.
The typical “Berthoud” recipe was developed in the early 20th century by a family of the same name who ran a bistro in Thonon-les-Bains (74). Presented as an individual hot dish, it is traditionally made from a clever blend of melted Abondance cheese and white wine, served in a “Berthoud cup”.
A guaranteed traditional speciality, Berthoud showcases essential products from its birthplace: AOP “Abondance”, the emblematic raw cow's milk cheese, and AOP “Vin de Savoie” white wine.
After scrupulously following the recipe, it's time to taste and share our impressions.
