Cooking Halloumi is easier than you might think! Use a non-stick pan on medium heat, no oils. Heat your pan and slice the Halloumi into roughly 1/2 cm thick slices. Sizzle on each side for 30-60 seconds. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice.

Our tip for travelling with cheese is to treat it like chocolate:
Time out of the fridge accelerates cheese ripening but it doesn't go 'off' overnight or during the travel time home.
If you are travelling interstate, pack your cheese in your checked-in baggage, which will keep it protected during the flight - it's cold in the hold!
If you are driving long distances (3+ hours), consider packing an esky, or ask for some ice at the counter when purchasing your cheese.
Cheese is best stored in its original packaging. The wrappers are made of specially designed layers of film that when joined together, allow the cheese to continue to breath and ripen.
You should also store your cheese in the vegetable compartment of your fridge, where it's nice and humid, as this will prevent the cheese from drying out while also allowing it to continue its flavour development.
For cut cheese, we recommend consuming it within two weeks to achieve the best flavour profile. If this isn't possible, give the edges of the cheese a trim before bringing the cheese to room temperature and serving.
