About Sirimon Halloumi

Squeaky and chewy, our Sirimon Halloumi comes in three variants: regular, peri-peri and with nigella seeds.

Regular Halloumi: a springy white cheese that’s carefully brined to give it that strong, salty flavour. When cooked, the saltiness of the halloumi fades into a savoury bite with a slightly creamy texture.

Peri-Peri Halloumi: infused with a Scotch bonnet and assorted spices for an added spicy kick.

Halloumi with Nigella Seeds: blended with nigella seeds for an added herbaceous flavour.

Grilled or fried, our halloumi is a great protein-filled option that’s crispy outside and sensually melted on the inside. Pair it with a mellow wine, champagne or a light rosé.
