Halloumi Cheese is white and firm, made from a mixture of sheep’s and goat’s milk. Halloumi Cheese has been made on the island Cyprus, an island claimed by both Turkey and Greece in the eastern Mediterannean, for hundreds of years.

The name “Halloumi” is derived from the Greek word “almi” meaning brine. This refers to the brine, or salt water solution that is used to preserve the Halloumi Cheese.

Halloumi has a salty, tangy flavor and a springy texture, similar to Mozzarella. Due to its high melting point, Halloumi may be as a a grilling cheese as it browns without melting.

Grilled Halloumi is an excellent appetizer or addition to any main course. Halloumi Cheese is also delicious eaten fresh in salads or sandwiches or with fresh fruit.

It is often paired with watermelon in its native Cyprus. Halloumi is often accompanied by mint leaves in the packaging which not only add flavor but also preserve the cheese.

One of the most popular cheeses we offer is our Mozzarella curd. Purchase these mozzarella stretching curds, which are produced daily, and learn to stretch your own cheese. This is a great way to enjoy the freshest possible mozzarella cheese. Simply take the curd, hold between the thumb and fore finger of each hand, and stretch. Then pull your piece together and do it again. You may wish to add salt according to taste. Once stretched, your mozzarella cheese can be frozen to be used up to six months later. This cheese is wonderful atop your favorite pizza, mixed into a fresh garden salad, or melted over a dish of hot lasagna.
