The Consortium for the Protection of Fontina PDO announces the names of the ten Milanese restaurants that 13 to 26 February 2023, on the occasion of the second edition of “FontinaMI”They will offer their personal interpretation of Fontina DOP.
And not just any Fontina! Each chef will, in fact, have one of the 10 cheeses produced last summer in the Alpine pastures and then selected for the “Modon d'Or” competition, which assigns the prestigious award each year to ten Alpine pastures in Valle d'Aosta.
The areas in which “FontinaMI” takes place cover the whole city: from the Naviglio Pavese, home of Chic'n Quick, the modern trattoria of starred chef Claudio Sadler, to the more informal Ciz in the Risorgimento area with its well-stocked wine cellar; from the elegant Innocent Evasions of the award-winning Tommaso Arrigoni in the Certosa area, at the Locanda alla Scala with its secret garden in the heart of Brera; from the Ratanà of Cesare Battisti, very sustainability-conscious, to the cosy and Milanese Head, both in the Isola area; from Piazza Repubblica Restaurant of the acclaimed Matteo Scibilia in the square of the same name; concluding with two restaurants with breathtaking views such as Gallia Terrace, in the historic Milanese five-star hotel with Fratelli Lebano in the kitchen, and the brand new Mi View located between the two trade fairs and near the Milano Ovest exit.
THE ORIGINAL FORMULA: In addition to featuring one or more new dishes on the menu for the duration of the initiative, the ten restaurants will offer their customers a free small starter of Fontina AOC d’Alpine pasture alongside a pure taste of the cheese.
The Consortium's intention, enthusiastically espoused by the ten chefs, is to show how Fontina PDO can be surprising, an explosion of sweetness suitable for all kinds of preparations, even the most gourmet!
EVERY SHAPE IS DIFFERENT: A further purpose of “FontinaMI”is to make the general public outside the borders of the Valle d'Aosta know how each form of Fontina Dop d’Alpine pasture is different. It is a cheese-making excellence that is only and only born on the highest peaks of Europe for this the individual cheeses are the result of their supply chain: from the grass the cows eat, to the milk produced and processed in the cheese dairy; from the weather to the ripening process. So different, in fact, that each year a competition is held between not so much the producers as the individual cheeses produced, each perfectly traceable and recognisable by the consortium logo, place and day of production.
