In Search of a Halloumi Method

29/10/2013 By Gavin Webber 4 Comments

I have an unexpected day free due to a soap making course being cancelled, so I am making a new cheese, and I hope it turns out to be Halloumi.

Halloumi is a Cypriot cheese, usually made from either goat, sheep, or cows milk and made in such a way (no pun intended) that it does not melt when heated.  It is delicious pan fried.

So the hunt for a recipe was on.  All the cheese books I have do not list traditional recipes, and I was after the authentic cheese.  Using YouTube, I cobbled together a basic, and I hope, authentic halloumi recipe.  (I watched a great video about a Greek Cypriot lady and Turkish Cypriot lady making Halloumi/Helim by hand.  http://youtu.be/9mDcpVAxLdY)

If it is successful, I will publish it here on the cheese blog,  for all to use.

I will be videoing the cheese making session in the hope that it all turns out well and will post the tutorial on YouTube.  Fingers crossed for a good outcome.

Also for those interested, I have been interviewed by Farmer Liz over at Eight Acres Blog as part of her Homestead Dairy series.

I realise that I don’t live on a homestead, or a dairy (but did live on one as a child), but she interviewed me about home cheese making.

Worth a visit; http://eight-acres.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/getting-started-with-homestead-dairy_30.html,  and pop back here if you have any questions.

    There's a recipe in the last Feast magazine, and I generally use the one in Wilman's Home Cheesemaking. One of our favourite offerings at summer bbqs.

      Cheers Carole. I made my own recipe, based on watching the youtube video (above link), and a very old cheese making pamphlet that was given to me during the cheese making course I attended in 2009! It worked out great. Recipe and youtube tutorial to be posted soon.

    If it turns out well, you'll have to try making some Saganaki. OPA! 😉

    Looking to take up cheesemaking sometime soon and this channel has provided all the information necessary to get started!

  • Great Resource!
    August 28, 2018 by olivestones from United States

    I have been learning to make cheese for the past year. Gavin's podcast and video series has been a tremendous resource for me. His love for the cheese-making craft is evident in the amount of research he will perform in order to answer a listener's cheese question. All thumbs up for the amount of time and energy he puts into his quality podcast! ...And he cracks me up with his attempts at pronunciation!
