This grilling cheese from Narragansett Creamery resembles traditional halloumi with its remarkable heat-resistant properties that maintain structural integrity while developing an irresistible molten interior. The pasteurized cow's milk cheese undergoes specialized production techniques that alter protein structures to prevent complete melting even at high temperatures. Grill until marked with distinctive char lines for a smoky exterior contrast to the creamy interior, pan-fry in slices until golden brown for a quick appetizer or protein component, or bake in cubes atop vegetable dishes where it provides rich dairy flavor and satisfying textural interest, all enhanced by a drizzle of local honey that complements the cheese's subtle saltiness.

At Narragansett Creamery, they make cheese everyday because they love to and because they believe in freshness. They use local milk, kind bacteria, vegetable-based rennet, salt and nothing else. While not certified organic, Narragansett Creamery is thoughtful in their actions and purchases, considering their customers and the planet. The creamery supports fair-trade and local ingredients to the best of their ability and pledge to not use growth hormones. A proud, family-owned company, the Federico Family started Narragansett Creamery in 2007. After generations of cooking and creating home-cooked culinary delights, they started a family run food company, Providence Specialty Products. Mark and Pattie Federico decided to launch an artisan cheese brand as part of this company, and thus, the creamery was born. Now, only a few year later, they have become a trusted name throughout New England, and are making their way down here to NYC!
