Zerzekkis - Halloumi 8 oz
Zerzekkis Halloumi, presented in an 8 oz package, offers a taste of tradition with its distinctive folded shape, a practice rooted in the cheese's ancient origins. This folding, passed down through generations, is more than just an aesthetic choice; it's believed to have originated from the practical need to fit the freshly made cheese into the small, traditional cans used for storage and transport. Beyond its historical significance, the folding also contributes to the cheese's unique texture, creating layers that enhance its firm, springy quality.
This versatile cheese lends itself to a variety of culinary applications, but it truly shines when grilled or pan-fried, developing a golden-brown crust while maintaining a slightly chewy, "squeaky" interior. Zerzekkis Halloumi is a perfect addition to sandwiches, particularly when paired with the savory flavors of lountza (smoked pork loin) or loukaniko (Greek sausage), creating a delightful Mediterranean-inspired meal. Its ability to withstand high heat without melting also makes it ideal for grilling alongside vegetables or incorporating into salads, offering a delicious and satisfying protein boost.
