What Is Fontal Cheese?
Fontal is a semi-soft cow’s milk cheese from Northern Italy. It has a smooth, creamy texture with a mild buttery flavor and a gentle nutty finish. Its moisture and supple texture allow it to melt evenly without overpowering the other ingredients in a dish.
What Is the Difference Between Fontal and Fontina?
Fontal is younger, milder and generally made with pasteurized cow’s milk. Fontina Val d’Aosta DOP is a protected raw-milk cheese produced only in the Aosta Valley and has a deeper, more aromatic alpine flavor. Choose Fontal when you want a creamy, versatile cheese that melts especially well.
How to Use Fontal Cheese
- Melt it into panini, grilled cheese or hot sandwiches.
- Add it to pizza, pasta bakes, casseroles or polenta.
- Use it in fondue, cheese sauce or creamy risotto.
- Serve it with bread, pears, grapes, olives or cured meats.

Frank and Sal Tip: For the smoothest melt, use low heat and add the cheese gradually. Fontal works especially well in fondue and creamy cheese sauces because it melts without becoming overly sharp.
Storage
Keep the cheese refrigerated in its vacuum-sealed package. After opening, wrap the remaining wedge tightly in cheese paper, parchment paper or plastic wrap and return it to the refrigerator.
