The best place to preserve Fontina,
for those who unfortunately do not
have a suitable cellar or cold store
with humidity control, is the
household fridge.
To keep it moist, wrap the slice of
Fontina carefully in aluminium foil
or greaseproof paper.
Perfectionists can envelop the
cheese in a damp linen cloth and put
it on a dish covered with a bell-jar
before placing it in the cool rather
than the cold part of the fridge.
Remember the ideal temperature for
tasting Fontina is around 16°C.
