Fonduta Piemontese

Directions

1. 1
   In a plastic bag, combine the cheese and cornstarch and shake until the cheese is coated with cornstarch.
2. 2
   Place the cheese-cornstarch mixture, the white wine, and the garlic in the slow cooker insert.
3. 3
   Cover and heat on low for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is thoroughly melted and the mixture has thickened.
4. 4
   Add a dash of nutmeg.
5. 5
   You can then transfer the fondue mixture to a fondue pot and place it on the table, or you can place the slow cooker on the table and allow people to dip in with the bread cubes speared on skewers.
6. 6
   A dry northern Italian white such as a Pinot Grigio or Cortese would work nicely here.
7. 7
   I also think I might enjoy a Nebbiolo or a Barolo.
