fontina cheese

I have heard of this cheese many times,but I haven't ever used it while cooking at home. I was watching the show "My favorite thing to eat" I believe that is the name of it. I had never seen it before either. Well, the night that I watched, there were multiple recipes that included this cheese. I'm planning to buy some & use it more at home. I don't have the recipes that were on the show- but they were using it with other cheeses for a pizza & nachos. I plan to try a gnocci recipe soon that uses it.
Maybe I can create some of my own recipes with it, that are really good & post them.
