Dairy Vallet Pietro and Sons

In 1975 Pietro and Camilla started to make Fontina cheese in a small cooperative dairy in the lower Aosta Valley: today, this same dairy processes almost two million litres of milk a year, producing around 25,000 forms of Fontina ‘DOP’ (cheese with Protected Designation of Origin), in addition to fresh and matured cheese and butter.
