This is a cheese of our own creation. It is a semi hard cheese with a natural rind and a mild buttery taste. It is made in the style of a Fontina, but with more salt and a firmer texture. Straw in color, it is a wonderful cheese for snacking, but can also be used as a topping for soups or salads. It grates well, and melts easily. Uses include cheese toast or as a Caesar salad garnish.

Our Lionza cheese is a direct result of
the roots of the Fiscalini Family in
Switzerland. The cheese is named after
the tiny hamlet high in the Swiss Alps
where the Fiscalinis called home
formore than 300 years. One Fiscalini
family still lives there today. The cheese
is classified as an alpine cheese
because itwas first produced in the
Alps. We follow the same steps
developed generations ago, yet
currently used by cheesemakers in
the Ticino region of Switzerland, and
have produced a cheese remarkably
similarin taste, aroma, and texture to
the cheeses that are made there
today. Our wheels are26 pounds,
slightly larger than the traditional Swiss
wheels. The cheese islightly straw
colored with a few irregular eyes. It has
a thin natural hard rind, a sweet milky
caramel-like flavor, anenchanting
aroma, and a semi-soft springytexture.
This is a wonderful snacking cheeese,
and should be great in cooking and
fondues.
