Recently, "Tnuva" has again launched Halumi cheese under the brand "Piraeus", and what better than to put it into Chanukah celebration?

• Dreamy and carrot pancakes

Halomei cheese has no distinctive character and it seems that since the years of popularity of Cypriot cheese in Israel, since anyone who traveled in the restaurant districts during the 1990s must have known that there was no proper cafe that did not flaunt one or the other dreamy salad.

Cheese was a hit then, but over the years has disappeared relatively from the shelf and consciousness. It exists and is manufactured and sold but on a low profile.

Halumi cheese is a cheese made from Cyprus, previously made from Balkan cheese from sheep's milk, whereas today it is mainly made from beef milk. Its fat percentage is high, about 30%, and is considered fresh, unripe hard cheese. Halumi cheese has no rich texture but a viscous texture, it is hard and its texture is springy slightly resembling hard mozzarella.

Very recently, Haloumi cheese has been launched again under the brand Piraeus, despite being a cheese that has been in Israeli kitchens for about 30 years. It is worth noting that the cream cheese is characterized by a gentle saltiness, but that does not mean that the amount of sodium in it is eliminated in sixty, on the contrary, in 100 grams of cheese has a thousand mg of sodium, a high amount per opinion. Therefore, it is recommended to consume sparingly.

Well, the springy and tart cheese obtained after this process is very suitable for frying, grilling and grilling, since it does not dissolve and is not fused in the same way that yellow cheese or mozzarella is dissolved for comparison. The dreamy retains its texture even at high temperature, it just becomes a bit softer and gives way.

Because of this, and because we were inaugurated at the entrance, I decided to find a suitable destination for the old cheese.
