Its going to be a popular food due to its deliciousness and grill-able features. It can be used with summer salads, sandwiches and grated for pasta toppings, also used with watermelon during summer. It is rich in calcium and due to salty nature, it's highly nutritional. Soaking it in fresh water for an hour may reduce salts and helps to keep it fresh.

You can get it in the US, but the places that have it have been expensive.

Try an ethnic grocer! The military commissary (where everything is often much cheaper) has it for $10. At the Indian or Middle Eastern stores (or befriend the owner of a local Greek restaurant) it's $5-6.

I've bought it at a Houston Lebanese ethnic market, Whole Foods and at HEB's Central Market (IIRC).
A good use: Split a ripe tomato, dust with black pepper, top with some cheese and run under the broiler. With a baguette, a glass of white wine, it becomes a step up in snacks.

Most markets carry a version now, albeit not a "real" version, and not high quality. Many markets put it in the salad section, near the tofu, but others put it next to the typical dairy case cheese products, and some in the specialty cheese section. I have actually tried it with real feta, and it worked, and Provolone also works well.
