The original Fontina produced in the Italian Alps is a semisoft, washed-rind unpasteurized cow’s milk cheese aged about 3 months. Rich and buttery, Fontina finishes with an earthy flavor.
The Valle d'Aosta, located in the Italian Alps, is renowned for its lush, unpolluted pastures that provide an array of aromatic herbs and grasses for livestock. The single-farm Alpeggio version is made exclusively with the summer milk of Valdostana cows grazing on Alpine pastures (1900+m).
