Cheeses

Anari is a traditional Cypriot white, soft cheese made from whey, a by-product of the halloumi-making process. Because it is whey-based, it is often considered a lower-fat cheese. Depending on its salt content and texture, it can resemble Greek cheeses such as myzithra or anthotyro.

UNSALTED ANARI

A mild, creamy anari made from whey of a blend of cow’s, sheep’s and goat’s milk.
How to enjoy: eat it fresh, or use it as a key ingredient in traditional Cypriot recipes such as ravioli, anarokrema, and bourekia.

Ingredients: Whey (from cow’s, sheep’s and goat’s milk).

SALTED ANARI

A slightly salted version with a richer, more savoury taste.

Ingredients: Whey (from cow’s, sheep’s and goat’s milk), salt.

DRY ANARI

Salted anari can be carefully dried to create Dry Anari—a firm cheese with a gently salty, milky flavour.
How to enjoy: grate over pasta, salads, or baked dishes.

Ingredients: Whey (from cow’s, sheep’s and goat’s milk), salt.
