Fontina is a classic Italian cheese made in the Aosta Valley since the 12th century. There are many Fontina cheeses made with alternative names such as "Fontinella", "Fontal", and "Fontella" but the Italian Fontina, Fontina Val d'Aosta, identified by a Consorzio (Consortium) stamp is the original and most famous. The other versions are much milder than the original Fontina. There is also a Danish version which can be recognized by the red wax rind. Italian Fontina has a natural rind that turns tan to orange-brown with aging.
A happy and furry flock of about 1200 sheep meander through the green and rolling hills of the upper Hudson River Valley, making Old Chatham Sheepherding the largest sheep dairy in the United States.

This care and quality of life results in some of the best sheep dairy products in the country.
