Cyprus ready to send Halloumi to China

Cypriot farmers are hailing a new protocol for the export of Cypriot dairy products to China as an ‘important step forward’ for their industry.

Earlier this week, the two countries signed a protocol which is hoped will lead to the export of Cypriot dairy products, including the popular halloumi cheese to China.

“Absolutely we have high expectations for China, because we believe there is a big demand and a potential demand,” said John Pittas, the export manager for Pittas Dairy Industries, in an exclusive interview with Xinhua.

Pittas is one of the leading halloumi producers on the island, employing over 200 people making traditional local cheeses. Their best seller is called halloumi, which is popular given its high melting point, making it ideal for grilling and frying.

“We are ready for China. We have the labels ready, we have prepared everything. All we are waiting for now is the approval, and then we will send the first container,” Pittas added.
