mary Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Lidl have got Halloumi cheese in this weeks - food promotions. Its not in the fridge, but in a box in the weekly promitional foods shelf. It was about 2.50E a box. Sell by date is March 2010 so must be long life. It's very yummy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suze01 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'll see if they've still got some when I go today, as my two kids are both vegetarian it'll be a useful addition to their menu repertoire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mary Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 It was greek. Didn't know the Australians did it.......Haven't tried it with a sweet topping, just on the BBQ or grill untill dark brown, with a salad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbiee Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Bought and tried some of Lidl's halloumi yesterday - wasn't hugely impressed. It's OK if you're desparate for a halloumi-hit, but it's not very flavoursome - not a patch on the stuff you can get in the UK.Not cheap either. But what is these days!

Braco Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Real Halloumi only comes from Cyprus. It comes in two main types – in packaging, soft and white and suitable for palming off on the export market.Type two which is usually made to order is stored in large jars and can last over five years it develops a harder more yellow consistency. As for the taste –just typing this has made me want some.Try it with water melon and bread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braco Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 It also freezes perfectly if you dont want to keep it in its whey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakunamatata Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Well I finally got some (loads actually!) and being an aficionado of Halloumi I think its a good one and the best news is it is now reduced to 1.99 a packet. By the way the same brand Feta is very good also. Thank you everybody for telling us where to go[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakunamatata Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 You have to do what I did then, buy a whole box it keeps in fridge or freezer for ages and ages. Bon appetite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
