FontinaMI, the renowned Milanese food event, arrives in Courmayeur with a fresh and dynamic format celebrating the undisputed star: Fontina POD cheese.

From Saturday 7 to Sunday 22 March, 11 restaurants in Courmayeur present their own interpretation of FontinaMI, creating special off‑menu dishes that bring together Aosta Valley culinary tradition and Milanese inspiration through the excellence of Fontina cheese.
The formula mirrors the Milan edition: guests at the participating restaurants can enjoy an off‑menu Fontina dish inspired by local traditions with a Milanese twist. Those who choose the dedicated dish receive a complimentary Fontina amuse‑bouche.

Local chefs, breathtaking Alpine scenery and typical Aosta Valley ingredients, from Morgex saffron to Saint‑Oyen prosciutto, as well as zero‑kilometre honey and chestnuts, give life to “FontinaMI on Tour – Courmayeur”, a delicious dialogue between regional recipes and original, contemporary pairings.
