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. For a cheese as familiar, loved, and widely cooked as halloumi, that kind of recognition says something clear: this is not just a good everyday cheese. It is an exceptional one. Cyprus Village halloumi has received the highest Great Taste rating in 2026.

Meetu says: "This recipe takes me straight back to my childhood in India where my aunty made the simplest skewers with tinned cherries, pineapple and paneer for every party. I've given them a grown up Greek twist with OliveOlive's Souvlaki seasoning and extra virgin olive oil."

Meetu says: "I gave bagels a Greek twist by swapping in sun dried tomatoes and halloumi. The aroma that fills your kitchen when these are baking is absolutely insane!"

This came together on a sunny day when I needed a quick, protein packed lunch for my daughter! The whipped cottage cheese adds a creamy base, while OliveOlive's Greek Seasoning Blends and harissa take the carrots somewhere really special. Light, vibrant and on the table in about an hour!
