Halloumi


This tasty cheese originates from Cyprus and is made from sheep's or goat's milk.


The added touch of mint gives it that extra zing and it is truly delicious either fried, grilled or eaten with pasta or fruit.


Cyprus has many other delicious cheeses but this is unique to Cyprus.


It's sold in supermarkets all over the world in small plastic packets but you can also buy many of these cheeses in a large tin.


If bought like this it's a good idea to soak the cheese in water as it can be very salty. They are also much harder in texture so ideal for grating on food.


Try it with salad...

One of the most healthy ways to eat this cheese is grilled with a fresh crunchy salad.


For Breakfast...

Many people enjoy this cheese for breakfast either fried or grilled with eggs and lounza (similar to bacon).


With Pasta...

One of our very favorite pasta dishes and one we're sure you'll enjoy! Add butter to pasta and then add grated haloumi cheese and sprinkle with a little dried mint.


A Sandwich...

For a healthy a nutritious snack, try thinly cut slices of this tasty cheese with slices of cucumber and tomato in crusty Greek bread.


With Melon...

A popular Cyprus food during the hot summer months... juicy red watermelon with slices of this very tasty cheese... delicious!
