Fontina DOP produced by Caseificio Vallet Pietro e Figli is an authentic expression of the rich cheesemaking tradition of the Valle d’Aosta region. The production of Fontina at this dairy strictly follows traditional methods.
The cheese is made from raw, full-fat milk of the native Valdostana Pezzata Rossa and Pezzata Nera cow breeds, with the milk being processed within two hours of milking. Each wheel of cheese is aged in natural caves, where humidity and temperature are carefully controlled, allowing the characteristic rind and rich flavor to develop.
This Fontina is distinguished by its semi-hard, elastic texture and a flavor that combines sweet, nutty notes with subtle aromas of fresh grass and hay.
