Our Heritage
Eighty-five years of Cypriot halloumi, in every block.
PittaS began in 1939 with a copper vat, a family recipe, and a refusal to take shortcuts. Eighty-five years later, that's still the only thing that matters.
We've grown — from one dairy to a certified facility supplying partners in Cyprus and international markets. The milk is still Cypriot. The recipe is still the one the family started with — a process we set out in full under how halloumi is made. And the standard hasn't moved.
