Fontina
Italian mountain cheese
Fontina is a semisoft Italian cheese with a mild, nutty flavor and creamy texture.
Made from cow's milk, it melts smoothly and appears frequently in fondues, sauces, and gratins: The recipe calls for fontina and gruyère.
Authentic Fontina Val d'Aosta comes from the Alpine region of northwestern Italy, though versions are produced elsewhere.
