Cheese Rolls

Southland cheese rolls

The cheese roll is a legend in its own lunchtime. It's crunchy on the outside and deliciously melty on the inside. Made with fresh bread, tasty cheese, butter and a sprinkle of onion soup mix for seasoning, this down-home concoction is believed to be invented in Southland. Look for it when you're checking out cafes and places to eat in Invercargill, Gore, Bluff, Riverton and other Southland towns.
