From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boilie Cheese is a soft fresh cheese that is formed into small balls and packed in glass jars along with sunflower oil, herbs, pink peppers and garlic. Boilie is available in two varieties, Boilie (Cow's milk cheese) and Goat's Boilie (goat's milk cheese). both cheeses are made in the same way and are available in a number of sizes. Boilie is widely available throughout Ireland and in select stores in the UK, USA, Belgium, Sweden and Italy.

Boilie is the name of specialized baits used in carp fishing. The baits are made by boiling small balls of dough to make them hard. This is achieved by mixing the dry ingredients with eggs so that the eggs coagulate when boiled. The main reason for boiling the baits is to toughen the skin so that smaller nuisance fish can not eat them before the carp does. Typical ingredients in boilie mixes are fishmeals, milk powders, milk proteins, soyameal, semolina, liver powder, corn flour. Typical sizes of boilies are 10-24 mm. in diameter.
