Contatti
The Fontina maturing room in Valgrisenche is housed in the former powder magazine of an 18th century military fort. It is one of the six warehouses - apart from the one located in Saint-Christophe - used by the Cooperativa Produttori Latte e Fontina for the maturing Fontina DOP. Among them, it is the one located at the highest altitude, at about 1700 metres. It can store up to 7,000 cheese wheels, which are salted, turned and brushed daily.
Opening hours: from June to September, from Monday to Friday from 8am to 12pm and from 1pm to 5pm.
