Halloumi Pizza: A Delicious Twist on Margherita

Cyprus Mindful Bakery's Sourdough Halloumi Pizza is a delightful Mediterranean twist on the classic Margarita, blending traditional Italian simplicity with the unique flavors of Cyprus.

Classic Margarita Base

The foundation of this pizza is inspired by the iconic Margarita, which features a simple yet flavorful combination of a tomato base, fresh mozzarella, and basil. However, in the Cyprus version, this base is elevated with local ingredients and flavors, like hand-picked herbs, creating a richer, more distinct experience.

Halloumi

What sets this version apart is the use of halloumi, Cyprus’ beloved brined cheese. Halloumi adds a wonderfully chewy, salty, and slightly tangy element to the pizza, giving it a distinct Cypriot character. Its golden, slightly crisp edges after baking provide a delicious contrast to the soft mozzarella.

Mediterranean Ingredients

While staying true to the Margarita's simplicity, Artognosia’s Pizza Sourdough Halloumi Pizza incorporates local extra virgin olive oil and hand-picked oregano and thyme, enhancing the Mediterranean flavors. The richness of the extra virgin olive oil combined with the aromatic herbs gives the pizza an authentic Cypriot essence.

Balancing Flavors and Textures

The creamy mozzarella melts into the fresh tomato sauce, while the halloumi adds a firmer texture and a burst of saltiness. This balance of soft and firm textures, along with the combination of sweet tomatoes and savory cheese, makes for a well-rounded and satisfying flavor profile.

Local Sourcing and Freshness

The ingredients used in this pizza are sourced locally, showcasing the quality of Cypriot produce. Fresh tomatoes, locally-made halloumi, and handpicked herbs from Cyprus’ fertile lands come together to create a pizza that’s both fresh and wholesome.

Cyprus Mindful Bakery's Sourdough Halloumi Pizza is a mouthwatering marriage of Italian simplicity and Cypriot authenticity, offering a fresh, cheesy, and deeply satisfying pizza experience with a local twist.
