What is Fontina Cheese?

Fontina cheese has been in existence since the 12th century. This semi-soft cow's milk cheese is aged and this determines the flavor. It is generally nutty, slightly sweet and tastes like mushrooms with a hint of acidity. The cheese is formed into a wheel, from which pie shaped wedges can be cut. The cheese is a warm cream color and melts easily. The rind around the cheese should be removed before eating.
