AZIENDA AGR. PO-MA DI POMAT CLAUDIO E C.

In Etroubles, along the road leading up to the Great St. Bernard Pass, the Po-Ma di Pomat Claudio dairy operates within a single denomination, Fontina DOP, whose area extends across seventy-four municipalities in Valle d'Aosta. The milk used is the raw, whole milk of Valdostana cows, transformed into wheels bearing the consortium's mark: a soft, elastic paste, dotted with the characteristic 'eyes' that define its cross-section. The resulting profile is that codified by the alpine denomination—sweet, delicate, measured—without any forced or stylistic deviations. Here, geography dictates the rule: the recognized area establishes where the milk comes from, and the rest is cheesemaking craft repeated season after season. In a landscape that tends to sensationalize mountain cheeses, Po-Ma remains anchored to an essential interpretation of Fontina, where fidelity to the disciplinary regulations matters more than any personal interpretation.
