Cyprus Village Halloumi Cheese Wins 3 Gold Stars in the Great Taste Awards 2026
Our Cyprus Village halloumi has been awarded 3 Gold Stars in the 2026 Great Taste Awards, placing it among a very small group of products recognised at the highest level. That matters because achieving the top rating is rare.

Cyprus Village halloumi has received the highest Great Taste rating in 2026.
