About Fontina
Fontina is a rich, creamy cheese originating from the Valle d’Aosta region in northern Italy, where it has been made since the 12th century. Traditionally crafted from cow’s milk, Fontina is semi-soft with a pale-yellow interior and a nutty, slightly tangy flavor. It’s celebrated in Italian cuisine, often melted in dishes like fondue, risottos, and on pizzas. Nutritionally, Fontina provides a good source of calcium, protein, and vitamin B12, which contribute to bone health and energy production. It does contain saturated fats and sodium, so moderation is key for those monitoring cholesterol or salt intake. Its smooth texture and bold flavor make it a versatile option in cooking, while its nutrient profile offers benefits as part of a balanced diet. Opt for aged varieties for enhanced flavor and lower moisture content.
