Formaggio


This cheese is called Fontina Val d'Aosta which is the oldest cheese in Italy. The texture of this cheese is dense but smooth with a little of stretch to it. When I first tried it, the cheese had a nutty taste to it but a little sweetness too, like sugar or honey. But when I ate it in a pinini which melted it the taste was more of a acid taste. It is said that this cheese is used to make fondu.

This cheese is Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
This is another hard cheese that is usually gratted and put on top of, pizza, soups, pasta dishes, veal chicken or salads. This cheese is usually sold in large chunks or already grated
