Cypriot Halloumi — Wholesale Grilling Cheese Supplier
Greek Brands supplies authentic Cypriot halloumi — the iconic grilling cheese — directly from certified Cypriot producers. Classic, light and herb varieties available, all vacuum packed with a long shelf life. Private label ready for retail and foodservice.
What is Halloumi?
Halloumi is a semi-hard, unripened brined cheese made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk (sometimes with cow's milk added) and flavoured with dried mint. Its most distinctive property is a high melting point that allows it to be grilled, fried or barbecued without losing its shape — making it uniquely versatile.
Originating in Cyprus, halloumi has been granted EU PDO status since 2021, meaning only cheese made in Cyprus can carry the name. Its squeaky texture, savoury flavour and browning characteristics have made it one of the fastest-growing cheese categories globally.

A Fast-Growing Category
Halloumi has been one of the most dynamic growth stories in the European dairy category. UK retail sales have grown by double digits year-on-year for the past decade.
