Fontina cheese is not liked and adored by everyone especially for the fact that it acquires a bit of a stronger taste and smell as it ages. This special cheese is made of cow milk but it needs to be emphasized that the milk used comes only from a place called Val d’Aosta in Italy. It needs to be added that this is an aged cheese and there is also a rind that has somewhat red-brown color. We should also point out that the cheese comes in different shapes and sizes. It needs to be added that the cheese is very rich and that it also has small holes in it. It can also be used in various dishes. The Danish have tried to make their version of it, and they called it Danish Fontina.
