FONTIAGO, A MASTER OF MANY APPLICATIONS

MONROE, Wisconsin – From the rolling green hills of Wisconsin comes a one-of-a-kind cheese that’s a true multi-tasker: Roth Käse’s Fontiago. Roth Käse’s master cheesemakers worked patiently and painstakingly to create this truly unique cheese. They refused to settle for anything short of their ideal, a cheese that married the creamy melt-ability of Fontina with the sharp, tanginess of Asiago. Four years later they rested, pleased with their Fontiago, a cheese that’s got the firmness of a slightly aged semi-soft cheese (you can shred or slice it easily), a slow, smooth melt-in-the-mouth quality, and a flavor that’s mellow yet sharp…but not too sharp.

Fontiago meshes with today’s food trends, tastes and preferences in multiple ways: as a magnificent melter (oh, the pizzas it perfects and the sandwich melts it makes!), superb snacking cheese (think soccer treats with apples and grapes), a delectable dessert or cheese course (pair with pears, fresh figs and walnut bread), and irresistible hors d’oeuvres all on its own. Fontiago has just the right personality to turn dishes like these into sensational applications.

Pizza, from the purely simple to the oh-so-trendy
Italian Subs and antipasto
Grilled Sandwiches: vegetable panini, tuna melts, and beef, turkey or veggie burgers
Baked Dishes: eggplant, chicken and veal parmesan, lasagna, mac’n’cheese
Eggs: spinach frittata or vegetable omelets
Salads: Cobb, Caesar, Chef, or marinated fresh tomato

Fontiago is one among Roth Käse’s superb cheeses, each hand-crafted by master cheesemakers according to the same traditional techniques they have perfected over four generations. With roots in Switzerland, Roth Käse is now a leading manufacturer and marketer of hand-crafted, award-winning specialty cheeses in Monroe, WI, making only the highest quality, best tasting cheeses.
