The D.O.C Fontina is exclusively made in the Valle d’Aosta & has been one of Italys most famous cheeses since the eleventh century. Authentic Fontina d’Aosta will have an easily identifiable purple logo stamped into the rind.
Exported “Fontina” is also of a high standard and can be found under several names including the Fontalmauri that is imported to Australia. Fontina is semi-hard, cooked curd cheese, with a reddish brown brushed rind and beige interior. The flavour is earthy & herbaceous with a hint of mushrooms and has a delicately perfumed aroma.
