Fontina Cheese

Fontina Cheese

Everyday

Fontina is a cow's milk cheese originating from the Aosta Valley in the Italian Alps. This semi-hard cheese is known for its nutty, earthy flavor that intensifies with age. Its smooth, creamy texture makes it an excellent melting cheese, commonly used in fondues, gratins, and grilled sandwiches, while younger fontina is also enjoyed sliced as a table cheese.
