Advice

When making halloumi, it is important to use the freshest ingredients possible. Fresh milk, good quality salt, and well-aged cheese will all help to deliver the best flavour. Additionally, it is important to make sure to cook the cheese on a medium heat to prevent it from burning. To get the best texture and flavour, it is also a good idea to fry the cheese in a bit of oil for a few minutes on each side. Finally, be sure to wait until the cheese has cooled before slicing it so that it maintains its shape.
