SWISS FONDUE EVENING, A SUCCESSFUL SECOND EDITION
On Thursday 8 March, the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in Morocco organised the second edition of the Swiss Fondue Evening on the rooftop of the Mövenpick in Casablanca. Many members and guests came to savour the traditional Swiss recipe at this eagerly awaited annual event.

Under the banner of Swiss gastronomy, the evening was also an opportunity to celebrate women, as it fell on International Women’s Day. In his speech, HE Mr Massimo Baggi, Ambassador of Switzerland to Morocco, paid them a vibrant tribute, recalling that “in Swiss tradition, it is the men who prepare the fondue”. These words were picked up by Mr Mehdi Benzaari, President of the CCSM, who wished to honour them with these words: “The saying was right in confirming that behind every man there is a great lady,” he said, before inviting all the guests to taste the fondues and other Swiss appetisers prepared for the occasion. The guests were completely won over by the various entertainments offered during the evening: a concert, a big raffle with a chance to win stays in the various Mövempick hotels, as well as gifts presented by the sponsors Lindt and Nespresso.
A big thank you to everyone, and see you very soon for another gourmet evening!
