These skewers are traditionally made with Brazilian queijo de coalho, a dense, salty white cheese very similar in taste and texture to the Haloumi we use here. Soaking the cheese on the skewers removes some of the salt and prevents the skewers from burning.

Cooks' note:

If you aren't able to grill outdoors, cheese can be cooked in an oiled well-seasoned large ridged grill pan over moderate heat.
