FONTINA OF VALLE D'AOSTA DOP


Crust of brown and pale yellow flesh with the sometimes quite intense. Any form weighs approximately 9 kg and has a diameter of about 50 centimeters. The shape and height of about 8 inches.
The taste, needless to say is unique and sweet. Very fragrant especially regarding the pieces seasoned.
Its processing is very special in that it is used the resulting raw milk from a single milking. Manufactured by cows Fontina Val d'Aosta, is left to mature in three months aging warehouses where they are salted and brushed daily. To produce a form are required, think, well 100 liters of milk.
And a cheese that lends itself well to any dish but finds its best use in the typical fondue of Val d'Aosta.
If I can give you some advice visit these charming valleys, visit the ancient and beautiful city of Aosta ... and of course stop to enjoy a piece of this amazing cheese!
