Queijeiro de Friburgo vence 4º Campeonato Mundial de Fondue
The fourth Fondue World Championships brought together over 10,000 visitors and more than 200 competitors, both amateurs and professionals. Fondues had to be composed of at least 50% AOP Gruyère cheese in order to compete.
A jury of food professionals and amateurs tasted dozens of fondues, which were evaluated according to five criteria: taste, visual appearance, consistency, homogeneity and general impression.
After a pre-selection of 23 finalists, the jury named Damien Raemy the winner in a grand final held in front of hundreds of spectators.
For the first time, qualifying rounds were organised in other parts of the world: Belgium, France, Brazil and Canada.
