Shredded Fontina cheese. The interior of the cheese tends to be a rich straw yellow to pale cream in color, and it is classically riddled with very small holes. The milkfat content is usually around 45%, so the cheese tends to be very rich and creamy, with a nutty flavor which gets stronger with aging. The cheese also melts very well, and it is sometimes included in fondue and similar dishes. The cheese is quite popular in Italian cuisine, especially in the region around the Alps where the cheese originates. F ontina cheese also makes a great table cheese.
