This cheese is quite hard and not at all good when eaten right out of the package. Or at least that is my opinion.
It must be sliced into little pieces and fried or grilled in order to achieve maximum yumminess! Because of the consistency of the cheese it will not melt or stick to the pan.
I like to fry mine until the outside is nice and brown and crispy. The inside is soft and chewy and salty.
Looks like I got grease on my camera lens. Must go lick it off.

My kids love cheese! Like, they can survive on it! LOL. Too bad we don't have that around here, I'd like to try it!
I wanna know what it tastes like. I know it's impossible to describe a taste though.
There's a bar nearby that serves "Deep-Fried Pepperjack cheese bites". OMG!!! I know they'll give me a heart attack, but they're delicious. I HATE sharing them with the wife.
Joe's right- describing a taste can be almost as hard as describing the color red to a person born blind. Try imagining that. Yeah. It's hard.
That looks and sounds so good! I have fried cheese before but it was a softer kind. Can't even remember what it was. Now I've got a hankering for it. To the grocery tomorrow!
we rode "the bike" (honda goldwing) to wisconsin in july (yes, all the way from texas) and every where you turned they were selling something called "cheese curds". whatever they were, they were pretty durned good...fresh, fried, straight from the cow...whatever. i encourage you to add them to your list of things to do, if you ever go to wisconsin.
Hey Natalie:)
Try "Queso Blanco" in the States!
We have found it very similar to HELLIM Peyniri:)
When are you coming back? Looking forward to seeing you guys!
Best,
PS:
Don't forget, there is a place where you can find red lentil, manti, doner and bulgur here in Houston and lots of yummy things from Turkey, Greece... It's called Phoenicia.

We are big fans of that cheese here, especially wrapped in bacon.
Such a tease with the cheese. I love cheese, so maybe I'll try Nese's suggestion since I don't think we can find Hellim around here. I'm starving now!
I love trying new cheeses-- I'm gonna have to look for this one somewhere here.
Look out, Pioneer Woman....Natalie Cooks, Too!
So when you bite into it....does it have the consistancy of when you bite into a fried mozarella stick?
Did i even spell that right???
peace

I NEED some of this cheese. I'm like the cookie monster. Only with cheese.
How cool. It looks like what I do to tofu...and that doesn't taste good out of the package either.
ummmm grease and salt! i bet that cheese doean't even exist where i am in utah.... but i'm gonna look!
flip flop mamma - it is good. my kids love it!
joe - it is salty mostly. not a strong cheesy flavor. it is soft when hot, but gets kind of rubbery when it cools off. still tastes great though.

supersmartkooger - i know. maybe i'll bring some back for people to try.
