Fontina
Danish Fontina is pale yellow and semi-soft with a mild slightly sweet flavor. A
derivative of its Italian namesake and a great table cheese that goes well with a light
wine Fontina is also a good sandwich cheese.
Fontina, made from milk from cows grazing these mountainous meadows, is pressed, scalded,
and matured for three months, giving us a polished straw-colored gem with petite eyelets.
. Elegant and nutty, with a mild honey-like taste, this savory cheese is often compared to
the prestigious Gruyere’s but you may find Fontina more sweet and buttery smooth. The
pasteurized cow’s milk Italian Fontina is milder, creamier and is one of the best
melting cheeses available anywhere
