Grilled cheese can elevate your meal to the next level if done right. Whether you’re having a barbeque or just grilling in your kitchen, knowing which cheeses grill best is going to be a great advantage. Here are four of the best cheeses for grilling.
Cheddar
Cheddar cheese melts easily and uniformly, with a strong and satisfying tang, making it particularly good for sandwiches and toast. However, its low melting point does mean that it doesn’t brown easily and can lose its form quickly.
Mozzarella
Another grilling classic, mozzarella is made to be melted. It’s a soft cheese that melts easily but can also brown and crisp up, which makes it perfect in sandwiches and on pizza.
Halloumi
We think halloumi is the best cheese for grilling available. For best results, it should be cooked on a barbeque or over an open fire. It has a beautiful tang and a high melting point, which means that it cooks and chars while retaining its shape.
Kefalotyri
This Greek cheese is like halloumi but a little harder and saltier. It’s best cooked over a barbeque and is creamier than halloumi but still keeps its shape.
