Fontina

Fontina PDO comes from the Aosta Valley and is traditionally made from raw cow’s milk. It has a supple, elastic texture and a savoury, nutty, gently earthy flavour that makes it both an excellent table cheese and a superb melter. This is the cheese behind some of the region’s most comforting dishes, but I think it is just as good cut into generous slices and eaten as it is.
