Kynthos Halloumi is a fresh, unripened cheese from Cyprus, made from a blend of pasteurized cow's, sheep's and goat's milk, set with chymosin and finished with salt and dried mint. Halloumi has been made on the island since the Byzantine era, and it is still the signature cheese of Cypriot cuisine. There is no rind, just a firm, springy block that slices cleanly into even slabs and squeaks against the teeth. Its naturally low acidity gives it a very high melting point, so under heat it softens and browns rather than running. On the palate it is clean, milky and lactic up front, turning tangy and salty through the middle, with the three milks giving it a quiet depth and a hint of mint on the finish. This is the 250 g (8.8 oz) pack.
Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
