Cello
| The Cello Smoky Pepper Rubbed Fontal is a semi-soft, American artisan cheese produced by Schuman Cheese at Lake Country Dairy, Wisconsin. Unlike traditional Italian Fontina PDO cheeses, this pasteurized "Fontal" cheese uses microbial rennet and commercial cultures, resulting in a milder, sweeter, acidic profile optimized for meltability and spice rub integration. The 60-day aged cheese features a peppercorn, paprika, and savory spice rub that enhances flavor, preservation, and sensory impact. It has won multiple awards, suits ketogenic, gluten-free, and vegetarian diets, and is prized for its meltability and bold flavor, ideal for culinary uses and pairing with wines and beers. | |
