Haloumi aka squeaky cheese4

[Nemo4]

Hi does anyone know Where to buy haloumi cheese on the Island?

I was looking for it too, but I couldn't find any at the time. Try in Lidl.

We've bought it in the past from the HiperDino in El Campanario in Corralejo.

Tried Lidl in Puerto but nothing...will wait until there is a "Greek" themed offer, it is Mexican this week.  Going to Corralejo sometime this week so will try HiperDino.  Always seems you crave for the things you can't find!!

I am pretty positive Lidl have this all the time, but it is like the 'greek style' yogurt in that they can't call it by that name, so I think they call it grilling cheese or something like that... the real McCoy may be harder to find!

Thanks for your reply...will try later on this week.

I stopped by Lidl quickly yesterday and, not being much of a Haloumi eater myself, I may have jumped to conclusions on this one.

What I was thinking of was this smoked cheese made of 70% cows milk & 26% goats milk. Looks like a similar high saturated-fat style of cheese, but it isn't Haloumi

Thanks very much for that Lexeus, can you tell me which Lidl store you went to?  Look forward to giving it a try!

I went to the new one in El Matorral next to Mercadona and just along from Ikea:
C/ Tacha Blanca, 21-23
35600 Antigua, ES

Frankly I find the original one in Puerto del Rosario is much better run though, the staff in the new one appear to be a mixture of the worst staff from the old one combined with new inexperienced people...

You should be able to find it in either I would hope

Totally agree with you Alex it is one of the worse run stores I have ever seen, we were there yesterday, it is usually impossible to shop the place, but for the first time there were no pallets on the shop floor or any of the wire baskets they use to collect cardboard blocking off Ailes.
