Etymology
Fontina is the name of a cheese from Italy's Aosta Valley, where it was first made. A helpful way to remember it is to think of the English word fountain, which comes from the idea of a 'spring' or 'source', and that link helps you recall fontina is a smooth, meltable Italian cheese often used in cooking.
