Perfectly acceptable halloumi; I buy regularly.
Is this gourmet halloumi? Probably not, it's Tesco own brand. And Tesco aren't cheese experts. They have, however, sourced a perfectly acceptable squeaky, salty, rubbery, halloumi which - correctly! - does not melt. If your halloumi melts, something has gone wrong. If you like halloumi cheese, no reason not to get this one; if you don't like halloumi cheese, probably best to avoid buying any. (If you haven't tried it yet: give it a go! But don't be surprised if it's salty and doesn't melt.)
Versatile but a little different salty cheese
First time I've had this outside of Greece. I liked it, people should be aware it is a salty cheese ! It's good with tomatoes, mushroom and stuff normal cheese goes with. It's great grilled or fried as it doesn't melt to runny it goes soft and stretchy. I love it drizzled in honey & toasted sesame seeds.
Not the best halloumi I've ever had, but still nic

Authentic halloumi as it should be.
Best halloumi ever. Beautifully salty. Fry or grill slices to perfection. Ideal with crackers, toast or pitta and a glass of full bodied red wine.
Like rubber won't melt

Way too salty.

Too salty
Brilliant to grill.. gorjus texture and then the saltiness of it ruins it because it's way to salty for my liking. Ruins the delicate taste of the actual cheese
It can't melt
So good! Grill it until soft before you add it to anything, and don't be offended by how stiff it is. This rubbery, squeaky cheese is amazing in curries and toasties
