GAZi Halloumi Natur – The Original Grilling Cheese from Cyprus

Discover the legendary cheese that doesn't melt on the grill

Bring a piece of the Mediterranean directly to your plate! The GAZi Halloumi Natur is one of the oldest and most famous cheese specialties in the world – produced on the sunny island of Cyprus according to a recipe passed down from generation to generation for centuries. GAZi traditionally makes its Halloumi from a carefully balanced mixture of pasteurized cow's, sheep's, and goat's milk, refined with table salt, fresh mint, and microbial rennet – without unnecessary additives. The result: a semi-hard sliced cheese with at least 43% fat in dry matter, which retains its shape when heated and offers an unmistakable taste experience.

Why GAZi Halloumi Natur?

• Unparalleled Taste with Tradition: The Halloumi captivates with a mild-spicy, slightly salty aroma and a delicate hint of mint. Whether fried, grilled, or fresh – its characteristic squeak when chewed is the hallmark of true Cypriot craftsmanship and a delight for all senses.
• Shape-stable due to special production: During production, GAZi deliberately stops the ripening process by cooking the cheese in whey – an ancient technique that gives Halloumi its high pH value and thus its unique melting point. This allows you to prepare it directly on the grill or in the pan, completely without aluminum foil, and it will be wonderfully crispy on the outside and beautifully creamy on the inside.

Halloumi has a fascinating history: its first written mention in Cyprus dates back to 1554, and researchers assume that the cheese originally came to the island from the Arab and Egyptian regions. Today, it is considered the national dish of Cyprus and is the island's second most important export product. People all over the world appreciate its typical taste – whether classic with fresh watermelon, as a vegetarian burger patty, in salads, or as the star of any summer barbecue.

Versatile Enjoyment – How Halloumi Fits into Your Everyday Life

You can prepare GAZi Halloumi Natur exactly to your taste: Cut it into slices about 1 cm thick and fry it over high heat until golden brown on both sides – this way it develops its full aroma. It is perfect as a meat alternative on the grill, as a hearty snack, in Mediterranean salads, or for a classic Cypriot breakfast. Always best enjoyed warm – then your palate will squeak with delight!
