It’s made in Australia as well, yet they call it Greek Yoghurt. Only because it’s made like Greek Style yoghurt.

But nothing Greek about it. They just call it such to describe the difference in taste and texture and it’s creamy thickness.

So if you want that style of yoghurt, everyone knows to buy “Greek Yoghurt”

Do they have to change that name too?

Look, nobody would hold it against Australia if they were to submit a few food patents of their own like... crocodile biltong, wombat fizz, roo testicle pies, goanna cutlets, etc... they’ve got every right to, but they shouldn’t violate that same right of others! :roll:

Think it’s amazing how smaller countries, (regardless how richer they are in culture and history) have contributed so much to the world and then you get this large faceless, tepid country like Australia that has pretty much contributed zero the world. I mean not even a dish!

He’s claiming Mother Nature’s wood-eating larvae and calling it a “culinary delight”!

I wonder how many tons the EU has ordered... :? :lol:

I suggest Australians use “witchetty cheese” for their halloumi… and the motto “Made from the finest freshly squeezed grubs”. 8)

Today.....

The European Commission on Monday officially registered halloumi as a protected designation of origin (PDO) so that only halloumi produced in Cyprus and according to the product specification can use the registered name.


The move to protect the name against imitation and misuse across the EU is expected to bring clear economic benefits to the island



https://cyprus-mail.com/2021/04/12/euro ... loumi-pdo/

So there you have it, not all Cypriot style grill-able cheeses can be sold in the EU as Halloumi.

Only from designated pre-approved producers.

this will probably be enforced world wide.

There are many generic products in the world, from food, drugs, auto parts and so on and they do the same thing as the original protected products, only often they are cheaper. So, anyone can produce a generic Cyprus style cheese, but will need to call it something else other than Halloumi/Hellim. The free ride for pirated products under the names of Halloumi/Hellim is now over.

Just as valid as you claiming Kataifi, Baklava and souvlakia! :lol:

Actually that’s a legit dish and authentically Australian.

Like Mei meat which I have had, Kleftico style, and was the best meat I ever had. Cooked by aboriginals too. In the ground.

Not your typical aboriginals though. Elders. And extremely rich.

When these guys were cooking fine foods, we were still swinging from tree to tree. :lol:
