no no i have no problem with arabs what so ever, i was just curious to know what the word meant in Arabic and if the cheese actually existed over there or is it exclusive to Cyprus, i just remember reading somewhere that it meant cheese, thats all...

so does it exist or not?

for example in syria halloumi is the same as cypriot one, in name and nature,,
and keep in mind that there many syrian shops in cyprus selling spices of halloumi, in morocco we call it ''joubn'' and it is made in different way thats all

Well there are 2 issues here.

a)If halloumi is a traditional Cypriot product
b)if it’s registered product name in the EU should be halloumi or halloumi+hellim.

Surely the word is Arabic.The fact is though the Arabs don’t make this kind of cheese. (Correct me if I am wrong). It seems to me some Arabic tribe came in Cyprus in the past, and they are the real inventors of halloumi. Nevertheless they became Cypriots but their recipe stayed. As there are histrical documents describing this cheese long before the Ottomans arrived then the question is should it be regisytered in Europe as "halloumi", as "hallouma", or as "halloumi and hellim".

Hey guys the issue is really IMPORTANT. With a European patent on halloumi we can at least screw the Europeans on one of our patents. Do you have any idea how much we pay them for their patents?? Well I already told my story with the German manager and how they managed to pass their patent into a new stupid EU safety regulation.
