Description Halloumi Grill Cheese | 200 grams

With the Halloumi Grill Cheese, you bring an indispensable piece of Mediterranean culture into your home. Halloumi is a unique, unripened cheese that originally comes from sunny Cyprus. What makes this cheese so special is its high melting point. Where an average cheese immediately melts in the pan or on the barbecue, Halloumi retains its firm structure. During grilling or frying, the cheese gets an irresistible crispy, golden-brown crust, while the inside becomes wonderfully soft and 'squeaky'. Our Halloumi is prepared according to a traditional recipe with a mix of pasteurized cow's, goat's, and sheep's milk. The subtle addition of chopped mint also gives it that characteristic, fresh touch.

A Summery Star on the Menu

Halloumi is the ultimate hero on the barbecue or in the grill pan. Cut the cheese into slices about a centimeter thick and grill them on both sides until they show nice, dark grill marks. The salty, savory flavor combines incredibly well with sweet flavors. For example, serve the grilled slices with fresh watermelon or a fresh couscous salad with pomegranate seeds.

Halloumi is also the perfect, protein-rich meat substitute in vegetarian dishes. Place a crispy fried slice of Halloumi on a burger bun with grilled zucchini, bell pepper, and a dollop of tzatziki. You will immediately understand why the whole world is a fan of this Cypriot 'squeaky cheese'. Enjoy with a cold glass of wheat beer or a crisp white wine.

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Halloumi Grill Cheese

Why doesn't Halloumi cheese melt?

During the production of Halloumi, the curd is heated in its own whey. This unique and traditional preparation process changes the structure of the proteins in the cheese. As a result, the melting point is much higher than with ordinary cheeses, so it perfectly retains its shape during baking, grilling, or deep-frying.

How can I best prepare Halloumi?

Halloumi is at its best when you heat it. Cut the cheese into slices about 1 cm thick. Pat them dry briefly with kitchen paper and fry them in a dry grill pan (or with a very small amount of olive oil) or on the BBQ until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.

Why is there often mint in Halloumi?

The addition of chopped mint is an ancient tradition from Cyprus. In the past, when there were no refrigerators, the mint acted as a natural preservative due to its antibacterial effect. Nowadays it is mainly in it for that delicious, authentically fresh taste that perfectly balances the salty cheese.

Why is Halloumi also called 'squeaky cheese'?

When you eat warm, freshly grilled Halloumi, the firm protein structure of the cheese rubs gently against your teeth. This causes a characteristic, soft squeaking or crunching sound in your mouth, hence the nickname 'squeaky cheese'.

Do you have other foreign cheese specialties?

Certainly, in addition to this Cypriot pride, we also offer authentic Greek feta, Italian Parmesan, and various other specialties. View the entire range in the Foreign Cheese category.
