Halloumi is a goats or sheep's milk cheese, usually made in Cypress but popular throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean. The cheese is packaged in a briny salt water bath, sometimes with fresh mint leaves. It's recognizable by its lrown before it melts. This makes it a very popular ingredient in barbequing and always present in dishes with grilled meats. It is also a common choice for desserts and snacks, layering slices of the cheese with slices of watermelon make a wonderfully refreshing summer time snack. If you're looking for a beverage pairing, we again look to the cultural roots of this cheese, as it is often served as tavern food with an ice cold beer.

Halloumi is the cheese which you will find broiled in a Cypriote, Greek or Middle Eastern mesa. Instead of melting on heating, Halloumi cheese simply hardens. Our Mt Vikos Halloumi is from Pafos on Cyprus and is made from fresh sheep's and goat's milk. The cheese is made in small batches. The curds are hand-filled into individual molds and turned by hand. After an initial cooking, each cheese is hand-folded into a half-moon shape after a sprinkling of local mint is added. Halloumi can be grilled as and appetizer, but when you serve it with honey it becomes a delicious dessert.
