Pizza, Ultra Thin Crust, Three Meat Sicilian Recipe

Fontina cheese is a cow's milk semi-soft cheese which comes only from the Valle d'Aosta, Italy. The texture and flavour of Fontina depends on how long it has been aged. The texture can vary from semi-soft to firm and the flavours from mild and rich to more robust and overpowering. Usually, fontina is aged for 90 days. Fontina has a dark golden brown rind with a pale yellow interior dotted with tiny holes. With a fat content of 45%, the cheese is very rich and creamy which gets nuttier with aging. This versatile cheese can be used to make fondues, and similar Italian dishes.
