| Akkawi | 
|
Commonly made using cow milk, but can be made with goat or sheep's milk, it has a smooth texture and a mild salty taste. It is now produced on a large scale in the Middle East, notably in Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Cyprus. | |
| Anari cheese | 
|
A fresh mild whey cheese produced in Cyprus. Although much less known than other Cypriot cheeses (e.g. halloumi), it has started to gain popularity following recent publicity exposure. The whey used is usually a by-product in the production process of other harder cheeses, commonly that of halloumi or kefalotyri cheese. | |
| Halloumi | 
|
A Cypriot semi-hard, unripened brined cheese made from a mixture of goat and sheep milk, and sometimes also cow milk. It has a high melting point and so can easily be fried or grilled. It is noted for its ability to retain its shape under direct heat, or as a "grillable" cheese. | |
| Kefalotyri | 
|
A hard, salty yellow cheese made from sheep or goat's milk in Greece and Cyprus. Depending on the mixture of milk used in the process the color can vary between yellow and white. |
