About Rougette Bonfire Grilling Cheeses:

These grilling cheeses are incredibly versatile and easy to incorporate into your summer barbecues. They come in two varieties: a mild & creamy soft-ripened Grilling Cheese, which can go right on the grill to develop a warm and melty interior and crispy exterior; and a semi-soft Marinated Grilling Cheese, which is delicately marinated in herbs and oil and comes in a convenient ready-to-grill pan.
