Halloumi, a traditional Cypriot cheese made from sheep, goat, and sometimes cow milk, has become a global staple for summer grilling due to its high melting point. The cheese maintains its shape on a grill grate, allowing the exterior to caramelize while the interior remains juicy.

In Cyprus, Alambra Petrou Bros Dairy Products serves as a major supplier for the European market, processing roughly 280,000 liters of milk daily. The export process involves transporting the fresh product in temperature-controlled containers from production sites to the port of Limassol for international distribution.
