About the experience

In the heart of Cyprus, where tradition is not just remembered but lived, there is a story told through hands, fire, and milk — the story of halloumi. At our Halloumi Making Workshop, you are invited to step into this living tradition from the very beginning. Before the cheese is made, you’ll walk through our farm, where curious little goats and gentle sheeps welcome you as part of their daily world. It is here, among the animals that provide the very milk you will later work with, that the experience truly begins. Guided by local makers who grew up with the rhythms of Cypriot village life, you’ll discover how fresh milk is transformed into one of Cyprus’ most iconic treasures. You’ll heat, stir, and shape your own halloumi using traditional methods passed down through generations. At the end, you won’t just taste halloumi — you’ll have walked its journey, from farm to table, and taken home a piece of Cyprus itself. Come as a guest, leave as part of the story.

We had a wonderful time at the halloumi-making workshop and farm tour! Everyone got to participate in each step of the cheese-making process, which made it fun and very hands-on. We especially loved the farm walk, where we got to pet and hold the baby goats and sheep, followed by a lovely lunch back at the farmhouse. The whole experience was warm, authentic, and very welcoming. The only thing that would have made it even better would have been the opportunity to purchase some of the farm’s cheeses to take home with us—we would have loved to enjoy more after the workshop! Highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Cyprus!

The workshop was fantastic. We were invited to the house of the cheesemaker, where we got a chance to make halloumi cheese, from the starting point till the end. Every step was described very detailed, and we got answers for all of my questions. After preparing the cheese, we got a tour near the house, and we could pet the goats, and try out the milking process. After this tour we were invited to a brunch to taste the cheese, what we made with karop syrup and some delicious homemade marmalade, and vegetables. I recommend this tour, if you are interested in foods, you are visiting this beautiful island, and you want to know more about it's culture.
