Fontina Valle d’Aosta DOP is a traditional Italian cheese born in the Alpine region of Aosta Valley. It’s made from raw cow’s milk, specifically from local breeds that graze on mountain pastures, which gives the cheese its rich, earthy flavour and creamy texture – It’s semi-soft, with a smooth, elastic feel that melts beautifully, perfect for fondues or gooey grilled sandwiches. – The taste is mildly sweet, with a nutty and buttery finish, and it develops a natural orange-brown rind as it ages. – The DOP label (Denominazione di Origine Protetta) means it’s protected by law —only cheese made in this region, using traditional methods, can be called Fontina Valle d’Aosta
