What wonderful treat this grilled cheese sandwich was! Started with trying to find out what Syrian cheese is and after some internet searching and talking to a deli that specializes in imported meats and cheeses found out it is a salty styled farm cheese. The cheese softened to a nice gooey stingy texture and the olive oil, parsley and oregano made the perfect accent to its salty goodness. Beware these sandwiches are very addictive. Thanks for the post.

I went scouring around for the cheese, and couldn't find it, but a Muslim person said if I could substitute a mildly spicy flavoured hard goat cheese, then that was a good enough substitute, which is what I did. It turned out to be pretty good, and I've always enjoyed using pita as a type of bread for the sandwhich. And the dried parsley and oregano was a nice touch too.
