The Classic is valued for its creamy consistency and its slightly tart flavour, which comes from the nine to 12 week maturation period in a damp cellar. With its fine, smooth-melting texture, it is an indispensable ingredient of the traditional fondue made with Vacherin Fribourgeois only, or as a preferred partner to the Gruyère AOP in the renowned half-and-half fondue (moitié-moitié).
