Description
Traditional handmade halloumi crafted by the Polycarpou family, who have been making cheese in Cyprus for over 200 years. Produced on their farm in Avdimou using rich milk from their own Chios sheep and locally sourced goat’s milk, this PDO halloumi is steeped in history and flavour. The cheese is hand-formed, cooked in whey, folded, and steeped in mint-infused whey for 24 hours—delivering an authentic taste of Cypriot cheesemaking.
Country of origin: Cyprus
Region, town: Avdimou, Limassol District
Source of milk: Chios sheep and local goat’s milk
Texture: Firm, dense, and layered with a satisfying squeak when cooked
Flavour: Milky, herbal (from the mint infusion), slightly tangy with a savoury richness
Aging time: Fresh, steeped in whey for 24 hours before packing
Serving suggestion:
Split gently into two, then grill or pan-fry until golden. Perfect for adding to salads, sandwiches, or Cypriot-style soups like trahana. Can also be enjoyed fresh.
Wine Pairing:
Pair with a crisp white such as Assyrtiko, a dry rosé, or a light red like Pinot Noir to complement the cheese’s savoury and herbal notes.
