Planning a meat-free dinner one night this week? We may be butchers but we’ve still got you covered! We stock a quality Aussie-made haloumi from ‘Backyard Sotiris’, a small-scale cheesemaker who produces haloumi in Melbourne from the best quality cow’s milk. Grill up a few pieces of cheese, whip up a salad and that’s dinner sorted! #backyardsotiris #haloumi #cheese #cheesemaker #local #cyprus
The product we’re most excited about in our dry-age room at the moment is this cured tuna pastrami. Of course, the fish is top-notch sashimi-grade Australian yellowfin tuna. The recipe is a tribute to our late ‘Bappou Savvy’ (Yiota’s dad) and his traditional Cypriot pastrami or pastourma recipe from the village of Arakapas. It’s currently been ageing for about a week and should be perfect in a few weeks time. We’ll post an update here once we cut it! #tunapastrami #cured #dryaged #yellowfin #tuna #cyprus #arakapas
Does anyone else love haloumi as much as we do? The delicious Cyprus cheese is now so popular you can get it almost anywhere. We source Australian-made haloumi from Sotiris, a Melbourne-based cheesemaker who produces small batches of haloumi from quality cow’s milk using his family recipe. It’s great on the BBQ, grilled or pan fried, but Cypriots also like to eat it fresh as a table cheese, or with watermelon (a match made in heaven). Next time you’re in store at @dulwichhillgourmetmeats, take home some of our haloumi – it’s super squeaky and less salty than many others we’ve tasted! #backyardsotiris #haloumi #cheese #cheesemaker #local #cyprus
George has been smoking sausages today … a traditional pastourma recipe from Yiota’s home village in Cyprus, made from camel meat! We’ve perfected the recipe and are pretty excited with the result. #cypriotstyle #pastourma #arakapas #cyprus #smoked #traditional #sausages
Yiota’s home village Arakapa in Cyprus is best known for its mandarins, but it also has its fair share of olive groves and olive oil is a way of life. At @dulwichhillgourmetmeats we use olive oil with almost everything we cook at home and in many of our gourmet meat products at the shop. We also stock The Essential Ingredient’s Hojiblanca extra virgin olive oil, a quality product made from olives grown in northern Victoria. #extravirgin #oliveoil #extravirginoliveoil #evoo #olivetree #arakapas #village #cyprus #hojiblanca #australia @esntlingredient #hojiblanca

Yiota made it to Cyprus in one piece and already looks relaxed! Stay tuned for some food pics from her soon – Cypriot souvla and sheftalies and anything else tasty she comes across! #yiota #europe #summer #cyprus #holiday
We’ll miss her dearly but she deserves the break! Yiota is off to Europe tonight for a hard-earned three week holiday. Bon voyage koumbara! #holiday #europe #motherhen #fromthevillage #cyprus #greece #greekislands
Pasticho, a Cypriot-style baked pasta dish that’s similar to the Italian pasticcio al forno. This one was made with topside mince. The cinnamon gives it a distinctive Cypriot flavour. Classic Kypreo comfort food! #cyprus #pasticho #comfortfood #pasta #pastabake #cinnamon #fromthevillage #arakapas
Here they are! Golden brown flaounes! #george #yiota #chloe #arakapas #baking #cyprus #easter #fromthevillage #flaounes
