I'm looking for a specific cheese -- can you name it?

When DH was a youngster, he worked in a pizzaria that would buy wheels of cheese, and sometimes he had to slice it. He said the cheese was orange and that when it was uncooked, it tasted terrible. Possibly bitter. But when it was cooked on the pizza, he says it was the best cheese and the best pizza ever.

I've eaten a lot of cheeses, but I don't think I've run across one that was inedible before it was cooked, but was wonderful afterwards. I asked at a local cheese shop, but I suspect that they're most familiar with cheeses they sell, so this could be outside their expertise.

If anyone has a clue what this cheese could possibly be, let me know.

The pizzeria was in a suburb of Chicago, so it might have beeen coming from somewhere in Wisconsin, but I don't think it was a special recipe just for them -- this cheese must exist somewhere.
