What it is

Fontina is a semi-soft, pale-yellow cow's milk cheese that originated in Italy. It is typically aged for a few months, developing a nutty, slightly sweet flavor and a smooth texture that melts well.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Fontina for its rich, creamy flavor and excellent melting properties. It is commonly found in pizzas, pasta dishes, sandwiches, and cheese platters.

Health notes

Fontina cheese is a natural food ingredient and does not have a regulatory status as an additive. It is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin B12. Like all dairy products, it contains saturated fat and sodium. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many cheeses, but Fontina specifically is not typically evaluated as a food additive.

Allergen info

Fontina cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
