Fontinella Half Pound
Hard Cheese Cow's Milk Pasteurized Stella USA A unique Stella® recipe, Fontinella® Cheese is delicately sweet and creamy smooth, with just a hint of sharpness. It melts beautifully in sauces and casseroles, and is superb in grilled sandwiches. In fact, the name comes from the Italian word, fondere, which means melt. This versatile semi-hard cheese will enhance most any recipe.
As the story goes, Count Bolognesi, an Italian diplomat, was enamored with Wisconsin’s rolling pastures, clear waters, and pure milk. To bring a little bit of his homeland to this beautiful new countryside he loved, Bolognese began making authentic Parmesan cheese on a small farm on Lake Nebagamon in northern Wisconsin in 1923, hiring a master cheesemaker from Italy. The cheese was packaged under the Red Star label, a symbol that would stand for quality, and the Stella® brand was born.
