Sparta Halloumi Cheese, Cyprus - 250G

Halloumi from Cyprus, 250g. Sparta packs the grilling cheese, goat's and sheep's milk, sometimes with cow's milk, salty from the brine. It holds its shape in a pan, on a grill, and on a barbecue. That is why you buy halloumi instead of a melting cheddar.

Meze plates, skewers with vegetables, salads, wraps, grain bowls, and a breakfast fry-up next to eggs all use the block. Hotels and restaurants that run a Mediterranean menu keep it. 250g is a retail block, so a home grill uses the same cheese.

Pat it dry before it hits the pan, or it steams. Don't add salt until you have tasted it. The brine already did that job.
