Cordon Bleu is a breaded schnitzel stuffed with ham and cheese. Veal is traditionally used for the schnitzel. The ham is originally boiled ham, the cheese Emmental. In this country, it is now legally stipulated that only fresh meat from pork ham, and real cheese may be processed for Cordon Bleu. If this is not the case, the manufacturer must explicitly point this out on the packaging.
However, there are now variants of the classic that use pork or poultry, as well as other types of ham. In addition to Emmental, raclette cheese, Appenzeller or Gruyere can also be used for the cheese.
