Cyprus Village isn't your average halloumi cheese; it's a culinary star! Grilled to golden perfection, our halloumi develops a delightful slightly squeaky texture and a rich, savoury flavour. Paired with our peppery Extra Virgin Olive Oil, it’s simple yet utterly divine, and it's one of our go-to halloumi recipes.
