Olympus Halloumi

Olympus Halloumi is a handcrafted cheese that embodies traditional Cypriot cheesemaking techniques. Each portion is lovingly crafted by hand, sprinkled with mint, and folded manually before being brined for 24 hours. The result is a mild, squeaky, and delicious cheese with a firm texture that holds its shape beautifully when grilled or pan-fried.
