2Fontina: The Alpine Delight

Fontina is a semi-soft cheese from the Aosta Valley in the Italian Alps. Made from cow’s milk, Fontina has a pale yellow interior with a few small holes and a thin, reddish-brown rind.

It has a rich, nutty flavor with a hint of sweetness and a creamy, smooth texture. Fontina melts beautifully, making it an excellent choice for fondue, cheese sauces, and gratins. It is also delicious on its own or paired with cured meats and crusty bread.
