First stop on the tour: Germany. Rougette Bon-Fire Grilling Cheeses are made by 100-year-old family-owned cheese producer, Käserei Champignon. These cheeses are lactose-free, gluten-free and ready to be heated directly on the grill. The Mild & Creamy variety is delicious when served in substitution for burger patties, or sliced and tossed in salads.
Try this recipe our chefs created for, Roasted Artichoke Crostini with Rougette Grilling Cheese.
Or try the semi-soft Rougette Bon-Fire Marinated Grilling Cheese. Pre-marinated in herbs and oil, it’s ideal for pan-frying.
Try this recipe created by our chefs: Arugula & Spinach Salad with Stone Fruit & Rougette Marinated Grilling Cheese.
From the Indian subcontinent comes Paneer cheese, an unaged, non-melting soft cheese made by curdling milk in fruit acid such as lemon juice. It can take the heat of the grill without melting!
Try these sensational Grilled Paneer Skewers with flavorful chimichurri sauce.
Bonjour! Brie is a young, soft cow’s milk cheese from France often enjoyed with fruits like grapes, pears and apples or on a piece of fresh bread with preserves. The young rind is totally edible and helps keep it together when on the grill.
For a fun, summery spin on baked brie, try this Barbecued Brie where you grill a whole wheel and top it off with fresh, seasonal berries.
Argentina, don’t cry for me, just bring us Provolone! This whole cow’s milk cheese has a semi-hard texture and is a variation on provolone.
Try this traditional preparation of Provoleta and experience the classic flavors of roasted garlic and tangy peppers. You can make this one on the grill or in the oven.
Opa! Hailing from Greece, Halloumi is one of the most well known grilling cheeses. Traditionally made from goat’s, sheep’s or sometimes cow’s milk, it has a semi-hard, dense texture that holds its shape well when heated.
Try these Grilled Halloumi Gyros, featuring grilled halloumi cheese as the protein with absolutely delicious results.
Make your next stop the specialty cheese department at your local Nugget Markets for these and many other international fromage finds.
Selection may vary by location.
