Aphrodite Artisan Goat’s Milk Halloumi is hand made in a small artisan dairy, using traditional techniques that respect the history and seasonal provenance of the island.
Halloumi has been known as the traditional cheese of Cypriot shepherds since ancient times and is now protected by PDO status.
It is traditionally made from a combination of goat’s and sheep’s milk during the spring and early summer and preserved in earthenware pots in salted whey. Aphrodite Artisan Goat’s Milk Halloumi is still hand made in a small dairy, using pure goat’s milk. After draining the curds in small baskets, the cheese is hand salted and folded with mint.
Sometimes known as “Village Cheese”, it has a softer, more moist texture than its mixed-milk counterpart, and finishes with a delicious lemony tang when fried or grilled.
