The Pancyprian Organisation of Cattle Farmers (POCF) developed an accredited method to identify whether Cypriot milk has been used in halloumi production, in collaboration with a private laboratory in the UK. Halloumi is the traditional cheese of Cyprus, certified as Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). The purpose of this method is to detect the use of any milk powder or milk originating outside Cyprus while making halloumi. The method was presented at a press conference on Thursday morning in Nicosia.
