Halloumi Cheese – Homemade

Halloumi cheese is very easy to make at home and will cost much less that if bought them ready from the store. Halloumi cheese is probably the most loved and “respected” cheese in Lebanon. Black caraway seeds are added into the cheese then folded together. You can freeze a whole batch of them and use them when necessary. You can grille them, fry them or serve them as appetizers with Persian cucumbers, vine ripened tomatoes, labneh, fresh mint leaves and slices of pita bread. If you are over 21, fix yourself a glass of cold Arak on the side!
