[Wrinkly]

Claire, What's hallomi cheese, is it nice?

 

[Bad Jar]

I think it's kind of rubbery - is better cooked. Haven't tried it myself but imagine it's nice as part of a warm salad.

 

[British_Claire_84]

It's cypriot cheese i think, well that's where i've had it anyways. Lovely grilled till golden on each side or grated so's it melts onto something hot. Quite light tasting i think and yes you're right bad jar, it is a bit rubbery!

 

[Bad Jar]

I always imagined it was like the block mozzarella, not the fresher 'ball' type. I'll put it on my next shopping list and have it with salad and olives. Yum! Thanks for the inspiration!

 

[British_Claire_84]

Makes a nice change to cheddar It's 0.3g carbs per 30g. Tastes a bit like a weak feta cheese but less salty n more rubbery. It makes your teeth squeek sometimes when you eat it! Sounds horrid doesn't it lol..

 

[Bad Jar]

I sometimes find feta too sharp so an alternative is good plus with the saltiness of the olives, peppery rocket and a creamy dressing, sounds like a good lunch!

 

[British_Claire_84]

Haha, there's no other way to describe it! I like to tell it like it is

 

[Hooya]

Hmmm yes some friends of mine got married in Cyprus, and we ate a lot of halloumi - nice but the squeaky teeth thing kinda spoiled it!

 

[Jim]

LOL squeaky, That describes it perfectly. I love it grilled on top of a steak or pork chop.

see: Halloumi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
