Fontal

Fontal is a semi-firm cheese made in flat cylinders, with concave sides, and a thin rind that may be covered with brownish-red wax, or plastic.
Inside, the cheese is a pale straw colour, and supple but dense, with some small holes. It has a mild, nutty flavour, that is almost sweet with a touch of tartness. The tang in the taste comes out particularly when the cheese is melted. 
Fontal was first created as a French knock-off of the Italian cheese “Fontina.” The French called it Fontina, but in 1951 they were forced by law to come up with another name. The name Fontal has been used since 1955.
