Our Halloumi is softer than usual and deliciously salty. A frying or grilling cheese, Halloumi holds its shape when heated, becoming crisp and golden on the outside with a delicately soft centre.
Present day Halloumi is the same as the cheese made by the Phoenicians when they were in power in the Mediterranean. It is possibly one of the most unusual cheeses to be found. Halloumi is best known as a frying or grilling cheese because of its flavour and ability to hold its shape when heated. Our Halloumi is made with high quality cow’s milk and is softer than usual. When fried in a hot pan (no need to use oil) the outside becomes a crisp golden brown and the inside is delicately soft. It is quite salty so avoid using any salt when adding it to dishes. The salt content makes it a good cheese to put with other food. Use fried 1cm slices or larger cubes in a green salad, mix with cubed roast veggies, add cooked to a Panini, or serve with toothpicks neat off the barbecue or as part of a cheese platter.
