Haloumi is also called “Saganaki” cheese, which is a Greek word for “little frying pan” – the method in which it is commonly cooked. Made to traditional Greek methods and stored in brine. It is a soft semi-fresh cheese that has a slight yellow colour. It has a high melting temperature, which makes it perfect for grilling on the barbecue or frying in a skillet. Haloumi is best served hot.
