I once had some cheese In Helsinki bought by my friend from a Greek store.[More:]

It was slightly yellow, hard, nutty, slightly salty and the most delicious cheese I've ever had.

Do you guys know what it is called? Google tells me perhaps a variant of Kefalograviera.

Taz?
I once had some cheese in Helsinki,
That was not really all that stinky,
   It was yellow and hard,
   Like it was left in the yard,
But the flavor was just rinky-dinky!

Doohickie that is EXACTLY where my brain went!

I once had some cheese in Helsinki
that was served on the tip of one's pinky
'till the paper ran out
in the local outhouse
so I stole some and went to the clinky

I don't know, love. Most Greek cheeses are white (or least very, very pale - not really yellow at all), usually - though of course, different makers will produce somewhat different products. Kefalograviera is actually a blend of two cheeses - Kefalotyri and Graviera. So you might want to try each of those.

Also, I'll ask the husband if he can think of one that matches your description. At any rate, one won't go wrong with any of these three mentioned. :)

Ah, I just thought of one that might fit the bill: Ladotyri. If you remember anything about it being from Mytilini/Lesvos, that would definitely be it.

Dammit, people, get out of my head! The first thing I thought of when i saw the title was "That would make a great limerick." Unfortunately, I too thick-witted to actually create one.

Run, run, run as fast as you can.
You can't catch me, I'm the stinky cheese man.
