Features:
Fontina is a cheese with a sweet and delicate taste. A PDO with a compact crust, thin, brown more or less intense depending on age. The paste is soft and elastic, the color varies from ivory to straw yellow more or less intense.
Historical background
According to historical documents on the Valle d'Aosta, the name "fontina" recurs by scrolling through the archives, the combination of the name "fontina" to cheese, replacing the vacherinus, in combination with Seras and, then, from the eighteenth century used unequivocally for the characteristic cheese. For many centuries fontina was produced where it was possible to produce enough milk, that is, in the pastures. It was not until the 1800s that the dairies were set up and the milk to be processed was pooled in a cooperative spirit. The Fontina PDO is therefore the daughter of the high mountains and took its name from noble families and recurring place names of the Aosta Valley.
Notes
In the first month of ripening of Fontina PDO, the shapes are turned over every day, alternating one day of salting and one day of brushing, operations that facilitate the development of the characteristic crust.
