    is that lime juice in non-american cheeses to get american cheese-like properties? I don’t need an excuse to add lime juice to anything I’m just trying to understand

      Yup. It’s to prevent the fondue or cheese sauce from splitting. It’ll also give it some citrus flavour but IMO that’s a bonus.
