OKA CHEESE FONDUE
This recipe is posted in response to a request in the French Cheese of the Week thread of the French, Creole and Cajun Cuisine forum. Oka cheese is a French Canadian cheese named after the small village of Oka, Quebec where it originated in 1893. Oka cheese is a Port-de-Salut style cheese and was originally made by Trappist Monks at the Abbaye Cistercienne d'Oka, using a recipe they brought from Brittany. It has a pungent aroma and soft creamy flavour, sometimes described as nutty and fruity. This recipe comes from the Agropur Company, which is the company which has taken over the production of Oka cheeses. I like this recipe primarily because of the taste, but also because it showcases some wonderful Canadian cheese and wines.

TRUE CANADIAN CHEESE FONDUE
This is from Canadian Living magazine. I'm not Canadian, so no expert, but I figure they know what they're talking about! A good substitute for the Oka cheese would be Raclette, Emmenthal or Port Salut. Cheese..mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
