Enjoy a private and authentic food experience with hosts Deniz and Gunay. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. This Hellim cheese-making experience takes place on Deniz and Gunay’s 7-acre property. They live in a traditional Cypriot house with a beautiful fruit and vegetable garden spotted with fig, orange, pomegranate and apricot trees. You will be welcomed with fresh lemonade before you walk through the garden and animal farm. Next, learn from your hosts the traditional way to make Hellim cheese from scratch. It is a semi-hard, unripe, brined cheese made from a mixture of goat and sheep's milk. After you learn the art of cheese making, learn to make traditional cheese pastries such as pirohu (dumplings wrapped in unleavened dough) before siting down at the dining table to eat your creations. Your menu will include homemade cheese, jams, kleftiko (sheep kebaps cooked in an oven) and seasonal vegetables.
