I made it for dinner with Stilton and it wasn't great. The taste is very strong, so it would work better as a spread than a fondue – think of it as an alternative to hummus, pesto, or tapenade. A half batch of this would be very tasty, for example, on a sliced baguette with cherry tomatoes as a sort of bruschetta. It should also be commented that this has a dark blue-grey color, which again would be fine for a spread but feels strange for a main course.
