Why You’ll Love This

Firm, pleasantly salty, and famous for its satisfying squeak, this is the cheese to reach for when you want something that can go straight onto the grill or into a hot skillet.

What Makes It Special

Traditional Cypriot-style halloumi has a high melting point, so it browns beautifully while holding its shape. The interior softens as the outside develops a golden, savory crust.

Perfect Pairings

Pair it with watermelon, tomatoes, cucumbers, mint, olives, roasted peppers, lemon, honey, or a crisp Mediterranean white wine.

Serving Ideas

Grill or pan-sear thick slices, tuck into pita with vegetables, add to salads, serve with fruit, or drizzle with honey and herbs for a warm appetizer.
