André Bourqui, a cheese enthusiast and fondue master, was crowned world champion in the amateur category at the 2017 Mondial de Fondue in Tartegnin. You can discover the full results here.

This prestigious title is the culmination of a long family history, marked by a love for cheese and traditional fondue. Since childhood, André developed a refined taste by accompanying his father to cheese dairies. Each cheese is a discovery, unique in its texture and character.

For André, fondue is comparable to a wine blend orchestrated by an oenologist: each ingredient is carefully selected to offer a perfect harmony of flavors. "Fondue is much more than a tradition; it's a moment of sharing," he says.
