Why is it so Difficult to Melt Halloumi? | Food Unwrapped 

This joker is getting a load of free holidays out of quick googles.

i loved the condescending british attitude. keep up the good work

Answer: They pre-cook it in it's own whey for a bit

A man who is so offended by milking goats, is well... separated from reality.

Well that was an abrupt ending.

The actual answer is NOT adding citric acid that makes the protein strands all elastic like Mozzarella. Mozzarella is also cooked like Halloumi, albeit at lower temps, but it melts and is all rubbery. Halloumi cooking/grilling tip: Cut thick and cook high and fast to caramelize both surfaces. Prolonged cooking will dry it up.

The chef made halloumi look even more mouth watering than I thought was possible 😍

Presenter looks so damn condescending and his vibes are so plastic 90s that I feel like I'm watching a dated documentary

"What's your favorite?" "halloumi cheese" this man is my spirit animal

Holy moly! This is exactly how 'Paneer' is made in India with cow/buffalo milk. Milk is boiled and lemon/ sour curd is added, the milk splits, and the solids separate from the whey. Then the whole mixture is cooked in the whey till it boils and the pot is taken off the heat and kept covered for a few minutes. Then using a cheese strainer the whey is pressed out while it is still hot. The roundel of 'Paneer' is put in cool water to stop further cooking and kept in an airtight container submerged in water. If you keep changing the water once in two days, it will stay fresh for up to six days in the refrigerator. It holds its shape and does not melt. Gets crisp when shallow fried or barbequed.

This show always has about 10 seconds of information.

Sheep and goats milk are easier to digest because of less lactose and other allergens. And what they feed the cows. Grass grazing in a large pasture is best.

I don’t like the presenter, but the program is interesting.

3.20 does he gag or is it just me 🤣

The man flew across the world just to find out why a certain cheese doesn’t melt 🤦🏻‍♂️

Never even heard of this cheese before, now I must order some because I live in Small Town USA and nowhere local carries it

The cottage cheese paneer from India also does not melt in high temperature. It is grilled, roasted, baked & cooked in gravy.

Haloumi is POP from today!

Given that the curds are being cooked in their own whey, one has to wonder if it's truly just the protein (casein) molecules getting more "tightly packed" (polymerized, perhaps?), or if the temperatures are high enough to also precipitate out whey proteins, effectively forming a conventional cheese-ricotta composite that's more heat resistant than either protein would be alone.

The Halloumi factory owner sounds exactly like General Admiral Aladeen

Good show.

A Brit asking a Cypriot whether he knew his own native food, nice indeed.

I remember going to the old factory and loading a refridgerated trailer for the UK every month

Goats are so cute

I laugh everytime I hear about the "laser thermometer". There"s no such thing. The laser dot is there only to aid you in pointing the infrared sensor and it can be disabled in the settings.

Halloumi is delicious.

Fun fact, The Joker got his skin tone by being simmered in a vat of halloumi whey.

Such great energy the presenter has!

omg my hometown of Larnaca❤️❤️❤️❤️ i love grilled halloumi sooo much😁

So, .... the answer is the cheese is already cooked. You are just heating it up.

Sounds like a conspiracy, should contact Texas to see if it's related to their snow lol

In our big professional oven in our restaurant kitchen we have got halloumi cheese up to 220 Celsius

In India they make paneer by adding citric acid to boiling milk. Then pressing the curd. It will not melt and you can even deep fry it without it melting.

Watch from 4:28, everything before that is filler

What did the cheese say when he looked in the mirror? Hello me! What did the other cheese say when he looked in the mirror? Looking Goood ah?!

We now have halloumi in the US. FINALLY

The chef’s name is Yorgos Kiprianou, which literally means “George the Cypriot”. How fitting.

So basically what happens when you're trying to make a cheese sauce but heat it too much

Oh yes Halloumi!!! 😄🇨🇾💛

oh wow, i wonder if tightening up the proteins makes it denser than the others and so requires more milk than for a similar volume of other melty cheeses...if so i wonder if it's more expensive..

I remember buying this cheese (before knowing of its characteristics) a few years ago and tried to melt it to make it a dip but it just charred I was so stumped and tried everything by the end of it I thought it was expired of something was up I just tossed it all out (‘:

For a while, my wild imagination says embalming liquid is one of the ingredient 😆

How come u only have 200 subs?? That’s weird

Halloumi my favourite! 🇦🇺🇨🇾

I knew it from b4. From Cyprus. But it's not the traditional village method.

Basically halloumi is almost the same texture as indian paneer which is used in indian dishes with higher cooking temp.But taste wise is halloumi more creamier?

Thanks, this was interesting.

0:31 some ripped pants there

What a great channel guys! AMAZING CONTENT THANK YOU

Telly Savalas makes some good cheese!

Never heard of this cheese

TFS!!! Love this channel!!! 👍👍👍👍👍✌️❤️🇺🇸

So there was a five minute buildup to a 5 second answer?

I'm always disappointed it doesn't come in a perfect block like cheddar and usually breaks apart when you cut it.

Extra protein

I like the whey.

They used two cheeses that specifically melt really easily to throw in a comparison with halloumi. There are lots of cheeses that don't melt like freaking mozzarella. What about feta, or parmesan? Probably even cottage cheese curds wouldn't melt if you slapped them on a griddle.

mmm crispy cheddar and mozzarella

Halloumi is from Assyria originally

Makes the best fried cheese sticks

I thought the cheese melts because of the fat there is in that.

Halloumi is Cypriot product

Bit of oil on the grill buddy.

Case hardening of cheese? Interesting.

Gonna be sh*tting “halloumi bricks!”

Not the Cypriot bloke does not mention Kefalograviera. The BEST cheese for saganaki.

Can I get this cheese in Calgary?

i thought hallomi from the levant it's arabic name hallom

Deep fry it and it definitely melts 🥰 deep fried battered Halloumi sticks are amazing

Helim!

the one in the video is not Mozzarella guys please!

"Biggest haloumi producer" - he is pretty big!

Even the cottage cheese doesn't melt....so what

When the factory owner was talking over the tank, it sounded like he was clearing his throat into the tank to add some flavour!

Thats paneer in India

Don't forget the British saw their first elephant in 1600.

Buy more cheese, or the government will.

Poor goats

Anyone else notice the bug in the cooking vat? Mmmm. 4:47

How about paneer not shure if that would melt....seen cooked in Indian food....

All they needed to say was the last bit the rest of the video was pointless.

OMG... I never though to grill it.

Disclaimer ! Not everyone in Cyprus speaks english like that. I mean, his vocabulary seems pretty good, but that pronunciation is weird af

Go to 1:48 and pause. Does he have a massive rip in his pants?!

Luckily lactose intolerant ppl can have goat's milk.

Disappointed, thought he would show eventually what temperature would melt it.

What does a cheese say yo itself in the mirror Haloumi

If cheese doesn’t melt you did something wrong!!!!!

Only 86,000 views in a year... I wonder how they make enough money, because every episode someone is flying half away across the planet.

Did he rip his pants...

So damn sad to see cow that are trapped like that. Sick.

In Turkey we call it Hellim Cheese.

He was so condescending

It’s Halloum cheese an Arabic name, not Greek name darling

...why does he not let go of the goat's udders for... quite some time? I think he has some explaining to do.

don’t like the reporter attitude, mate you drink milk every day why you so squeamish it’s so annoying.

Are you a men or a sassy little princess? All men's as requested ashamed watching this

Cyprus ??/??!!!!! halloumi isnt even greek

How come u only have 200 subs? that’s weird
