Fontina Val d'Aosta

A classic cooking cheese, but it is also a coveted, savory and fruity table cheese.

Price $8.99


Fontina is the symbol of agriculture in Italy's tiny, French speaking Aosta Valley region. The cows that produce the milk for Fontina Val d'Aosta graze on high-altitude Alpine pastures dotted with wildflowers and native herbs. Fontina is a great cooking cheese, as it melts evenly without losing any flavor. Extremely aromatic (some might say "e;stinky"e;), Fontina is best noted for its value as a savory and fruity table cheese. Its slightly grassy flavor embodies the taste of a true raw milk cheese.<ul><li>Made from unpasteurized cow's milk, aged 90 days.</li><li>Photo depicts whole 19 lb. form of cheese.</li><li>We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.</li><li>Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.</li></ul>
