A cows’ milk cheese, Fontal is straw colored, dense and smooth with some small holes and a thin brown rind. Fontal originated as a French version of the Italian cheese Fontina, but actually became its own distinct cheese and began to be made in Italy (and Belgium) as well. It is firm in texture and mild in flavor. Buttery and nutty tasting with a slight tang that is more apparent when melted, Fontal is an excellent melting cheese.
