Unpasteurized cheese, also known as raw-milk cheese, is made from milk that has not been pasteurized. Pasteurization occurs during cheesemaking when milk is heated at the beginning of the cheesemaking process to destroy microorganisims that can potentially cause sickness or spoilage.
Being stored in brine, Halloumi is quite a salty cheese; if it is too salty for you, simply rinse it under running water before using it. Once opened, Halloumi can be kept in fresh water in the fridge for several days, or it can be frozen for up to 3 months.
What Is Halloumi Cheese? Our production unit prepares limited quantities of halloumi, always in the same traditional way, keeping the tradition alive, the taste unchanged and the quality unsurpassed. Our halloumi is made by hand and takes its shape in traditional straw containers. It is stored in its natural juices with salt-water, the same way it was stored and matured in the old times when there were no refrigerators. For us the process of thickening the milk to produce halloumi is live and very sensitive.
