Cheese Fondue Made Easy: Quick, Simple, Always a Success
Today more than ever, people are looking for meals that are simple, quick and satisfying — dishes that bring everyone together without hours of prep. We want something that impresses, lifts the mood and turns out perfectly every time. We want that little spark of “wow.” That’s exactly what our cheese fondues deliver: an authentic, innovative and inviting solution made with local craftsmanship, where pleasure, ease and instant comfort naturally melt together.
Expertise, First and Foremost
Since 1984, 1001 Fondues has been recognized as Canada’s leading cheese‑fondue maker. By working closely with Québec cheesemakers and artisanal beverage producers, we craft ready‑to‑cook fondues made with high‑quality ingredients sourced from our regions.
Most of our creations are brought together under our flagship brand, Chic! Fondue — a symbol of indulgence, craftsmanship and local terroir. Alongside this signature line, we offer authentic fondues with distinctive profiles, born from innovative collaborations with Québec artisans.
This unique expertise shines through in the defining characteristics of our fondues, making them truly one of a kind.
Celebrating Local Ingredients: At the Heart of Who We Are
At 1001 Fondues, every fondue is a celebration of Québec’s rich culinary heritage. We work hand in hand with regional microbreweries, vineyards, distilleries, dairy producers and passionate artisans to create pairings that highlight the depth and diversity of local products.
This deep connection has shaped our identity for more than 40 years. It’s reflected in the quality of our ingredients, the finesse of our curated flavour combinations and our strong presence at Québec’s major gourmet festivals and events. For us, our cheese fondues are a way to showcase — and share — the essence of Québec’s culinary landscape.
What Sets Our Cheese Fondues Apart
Fresh — Never Precooked
Our fondues are made with fresh cheeses and are never precooked. This preserves the cheese’s full richness, giving it a creamier texture and a truly authentic experience.
No Additives or Melting Salts
We prioritize purity. No additives, no melting salts, no modified dairy ingredients. Only premium cheese made from 100% Canadian milk, distinctive artisanal alcohols… and expert technique.
Ready to Cook — Nothing to Add
Our ready‑to‑cook fondues are designed to be simple and foolproof. No wine to add, no prep required — just heat, stir and enjoy. The result is always consistent, always delicious.
Naturally Lactose‑Free
The entire Chic! Fondue line is naturally lactose‑free thanks to a process that respects both the cheese and its character. A fondue that everyone can enjoy, without compromising on taste.
100% Canadian Cheeses and Craft Alcoholic Beverages
We work exclusively with exceptional Canadian cheeses and beverages crafted by local producers — wine, beer, gin, whisky, cider. Every fondue is a tribute to our regions and the artisans who shape them.
Distinct Québec Craftsmanship You Can Taste
For more than 40 years, we’ve refined the art of cheese fondue, inspired by the flavours, artisans and regional traditions of Québec. This singular journey gives our fondues their unmistakable authenticity and personality.
