Halloumi PDO
Useful Information
Halloumi is officially recognized worldwide as a distinctive cheese indigenous to Cyprus. It is a white semi-hard cheese with a distinctive layered texture, made from sheep and/or goat’s milk, which can also be blended with cow’s milk.
Halloumi is the only semi-hard cheese that does not melt in high temperatures while cooking. Its structure softens but retains its shape by turning an appetizing golden-brown color. This is ideal for grilling and frying. Fresh halloumi can also be consumed raw.
To be considered as authentic halloumi, its production must take place exclusively within the Territory of the Republic of Cyprus. Producers of Halloumi PDO must conform with the requirements of the applicable Regulations and hold a certificate based on the approved ‘Control and Certification Plan for the use of Protected Designation of Origin Halloumi PDO.
