It's a cheese from Cyprus. You can put this stuff on the grill. Sooo good! Anyone else try this cheese before?

I'm not shure where you would get it. We get it a specialty foods store like this place: http://www.marketbasketrockport.com/. You should find some. :drool:

Goddammit. How do you prepare it for grilling? :mad:

I just sliced it, and slapped it on the old grill. I found this website with other ideas: http://www.halloumicheese.com/

Goddammit. This sounds too good to be true. Cheese I can grill and don't have to do anything to prepare it?

Sign me up. Now send me some cheese. :mad:

I have "the barbeque bible" and it has a recipe for grilled provolone in it. i'm not sure how well this would work, but it says that provolone will stand up to grilling. i'm goig to have to bring some home from work and try it out.

I don't really have the "cheese words" to do it justice, but ..
It reminded me of cheese curd, in that it's texture was sort of rubbery without being chewy. A little salty like cheese curd as well. The outside when grilled browns a little and gets crispy. I don't know if this helps, but I shure like the stuff! :drool: :drool:

I have a hard time thinking provolone will grill ok. maybe if you cut it really thick and don't leave it on the grill too long...?

halloumi is goats milk cheese I think..:think:
it's also DAMM expensive. least 'round these parts. like $7.00 a pop expensive...

get the grill HOT, slap the cheese on, when browned, eat. we cut it into one inch squares and skewwer it.

it's salty and cheese curdish like. but tastey.

:think: How much is a "pop"? If it's a pound, that's not too bad for good cheese........

that's not the brand we get, that stuff looks like maybe a higher quality.

I don't think it's a pound, the size we get. it comes pre packaged.....
