Fontina is a semi-soft Italian cow's milk cheese that dates back to the 12th century. It is rich and creamy with a mild and somewhat nutty flavor.
Fontina is produced with unpasteurized full cream milk from a particular cow breed in Valle d'Aosta, Italy. The cow's diet is mainly free-range green forage during the summer months and local hay throughout the rest of the year.
