Product Description
Originating from Cyprus, halloumi is a traditional Cypriot semi-hard pasteurized cheese traditionally made with a mixture of goat and sheep milk.
Eventually, some producers started to add cow milk to the mix.
Halloumi is known to most of us by its Greek name, but is also known by its Turkish name, hellim.
Halloumi cheese is a recent cheese to receive special European Union protection.
From now on, traditional makers in Cyprus will be able to market their age-old recipe with a protection designation of origin (PDO) stamp to signal authenticity.
Australian made halloumi differs in that is made solely from cows milk.
