Polenta concia is a typical dish from the Valle d’Aosta. Made of polenta, cheese, and butter, it’s definitely a high-calorie recipe, but a perfect energy food for cold climate. Actually, the polenta isn’t the main source of calories. It’s the cheese. So you can choose just how rich and substantial you want to make it.
Fontina, just like the ancients ate
Fontina is a typical Valle d’Aosta cheese, which has received DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) certification, and for this reason, must be produced according to specified rules. It’s made only with milk from the cows born and raised in the valley, which graze in meadows in the open air during the summer and in winter eat the hay collected in the fields around the valley.
