Some say the Cypriot cheese should be made from cow's milk
while some traditionalists swear by goat and ewe milk
Former pilot Pantelis Panteli makes Halloumi exclusively from ewe's milk
(Pantelis Panteli, Cheesemaker)
"The real Halloumi - the locals of a certain age know about it. The younger generation unfortunately nobody will know, because everybody knows of an old lady, usually in a village somewhere that used to make Halloumi and had either died unfortunately or stopped because it wasn't viable or she got a back pain. Nobody is making the real thing anymore, and that is our aim."
