Description La Montanara Halloumi Cheese p/kg La Montanara Halloumi Cheese (Price per kg) Product Overview La Montanara (La Mont) Halloumi is a premium South African grilling cheese produced at the foot of the Langeberg mountains in Ashton. Unlike many mass-produced versions, La Montanara is a private dairy farm that utilizes limited production runs to maintain a high-quality, artisanal standard. It is known for its robust “squeaky” texture and a high melting point that allows it to be pan-fried or grilled to a deep golden brown without losing its shape.
