Cyprus-made halloumi gets EU protection

This Protected Designation of Origin symbol will now grace Cyprus-made halloumi cheese, assuring European customers they are buying a traditionally made, historical product. 1 of 1 Halloumi is the latest cheese to receive special European Union protection. From now on, traditional makers in Cyprus will be able to market their age-old recipe with a protection designation of origin (PDO) stamp to signal authenticity. The ruling also gives Cyprus added legal rights to stop other cheesemakers from selling traditional-recipe halloumi in the EU and United Kingdom. The Australian Dairy Industry Council said it was ready to fight over the halloumi name if the EU demanded halloumi monopoly in future trade deals.

EU grants Cyprus protected trademark on halloumi cheese

Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades welcomed the move as a milestone day for halloumi/hellim and our country . A shield of protection is now in place, significant prospects for increasing exports of our national product to the benefit of all Cypriot producers, Greek and Turkish, the leader of the mainly Greek south tweeted on Tuesday. Cyprus has been divided since Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third in 1974 in reaction to a Greek-engineered coup. But the decision, which defines the content of the cheese as 51 per cent goat or sheep s milk, making it more expensive, has left some unhappy. This is very bad for north and south producers, Turkish Cypriot hellim factory owner Mahmut Erden told AFP.
