With origins that can be traced back to 12th century Italy, Fontina is a special type of cheese. It’s sourced from cow’s milk and has its own unique taste, aroma, and texture.
These days, Fontina is also popular all across the globe – especially in the US, Europe, and Canada. The rest of the world has also fallen in love with this cheese – although it’s not really available worldwide. For this reason, derivatives of Fontina (or other versions) now also exist in the following forms:
Fontinella cheese
Fontal cheese
Fontella cheese
These are variations of cheeses from the original (authentic) Fontina cheese. So, if you’re looking for a Fontina cheese substitute, those other versions of Fontina are some of your best options.
In this post, I will show you other types of cheeses that you can also use as a substitute for Fontina cheese. This way, you can make recipes that use this type of cheese from wherever you are in the world.
