Product Description

The cheese that holds its shape, its flavour, and its credentials.

Halloumi PDO is one of the most distinctive cheeses in the Mediterranean tradition, produced exclusively in Cyprus from a blend of pasteurised cow, goat, and sheep milk. The Protected Designation of Origin certification is not a marketing label: it defines a production method, a geography, and a set of standards that cannot be replicated elsewhere. This 750g format brings that quality to your table at a scale that makes sense.

The texture is firm and layered, with a mild, milky saltiness and a faint aroma of fresh mint, which is folded into the cheese during production. Raw, it slices cleanly and holds its structure. Grilled or pan-fried, it develops a golden crust with a soft, yielding interior that no other cheese quite replicates. It does not melt — it transforms.

Is 750g too much? Here is why this is the right size.

The standard retail cut of Halloumi sits between 200g and 225g. This 750g block is designed for households that cook regularly, families who go through it fast, and professional kitchens that want consistent quality without reordering every week. Once opened, it keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days — and the portion logic is straightforward.

750g yields approximately 3 to 4 standard retail packs
Cost per serving is significantly lower than buying multiple small packs
Vacuum-sealed until opening: freshness is preserved from production to your kitchen

Shipped fresh: what that means in practice.

Halloumi PDO is a semi-hard cheese with a shelf life of 12 months from production. It travels refrigerated and arrives vacuum-sealed, which protects both texture and flavour during transit. No preservatives, no compromise.

Shelf life: 12 months from production date
Packaging: vacuum-sealed for freshness and structural integrity
Once opened: refrigerate and consume within 4 days

How to use it

Grilled or pan-fried as a Mediterranean plate, with olive oil, lemon, and herbs

Stocked as a household staple by families who cook Greek or Mediterranean food regularly

Nutritional Components

Halloumi PDO: what is actually in it, and why it earns its place on the plate.

This is a cheese made from a blend of cow, goat, and sheep milk, with no artificial additives and no animal rennet. The nutritional profile reflects the quality of the milk and the traditional production method.

Why the milk blend and production method matter:

Protein: 21.1g per 100g.
Non-animal rennet: suitable for vegetarians, and a marker of a cleaner, more considered production process.
Carbohydrates: 2.6g per 100g, of which all are naturally occurring sugars — no added sugars.
Moderate fat profile: 25g of fat per 100g, with 14.5g saturated, in line with traditional dairy cheeses of this category.
No additives: the ingredients list is short and clean — milk, salt, mint, rennet. Nothing else.

Nutritional values per 100g:

Energy: 1329 kJ / 320 kcal
Fat: 25g — of which saturates: 14.5g
Carbohydrates: 2.6g — of which sugars: 2.6g
Protein: 21.1g
Salt: 2.6g

Ingredients: Pasteurised Cypriot milk (blend of cow, goat, and sheep), salt, mint (1%), non-animal rennet. Moisture max 52%. Fat in dry matter min 43%.

Halloumi PDO is suitable for vegetarians. PDO certification guarantees Cypriot origin and adherence to a defined production standard that cannot be applied to cheeses produced outside Cyprus.
