To carry PDO status, it must be produced in Cyprus from a blend of sheep's and goat's milk — the breeds, the method and the geography all protected by law. Aphrodite's version, selected by Will Studd, is the genuine article: firmer, saltier and more characterful than mass-produced alternatives, with a clean, grassy richness that comes directly from the milk.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-slate-node=\"element\" class=\"slate-p slate-selectable slate-p m-0 leading-relaxed text-inherit\" data-block-id=\"HjC-pZ_Btf\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-node=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-leaf=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-string=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-slate-node=\"element\" class=\"slate-p slate-selectable slate-p m-0 leading-relaxed text-inherit\" data-block-id=\"HjC-pZ_Btf\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-node=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-leaf=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-string=\"true\"\u003eThe defining quality of halloumi is its high melting point — it can be grilled, pan-fried or barbecued until golden on the outside while remaining firm and yielding within. That contrast of crust and interior, combined with the salty, slightly squeaky texture, is what makes it so satisfying. Slice it thickly and cook it hot and fast; serve it immediately while it still has that warmth and give.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-slate-node=\"element\" class=\"slate-p slate-selectable slate-p m-0 leading-relaxed text-inherit\" data-block-id=\"HjC-pZ_Btf\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-node=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-leaf=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-string=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-slate-node=\"element\" class=\"slate-p slate-selectable slate-p m-0 leading-relaxed text-inherit\" data-block-id=\"HjC-pZ_Btf\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-node=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-leaf=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-string=\"true\"\u003eIt works beautifully alongside ripe summer tomatoes, watermelon, mint and a pour of lemon juice — the Cypriot way.
