Food Products from Cyprus: The Authentic Tastes of the Mediterranean
Cyprus's food products carry within them thousands of years of agricultural tradition, Mediterranean sunshine, and culinary craftsmanship. From the globally recognised halloumi cheese to the ancient commandaria wine, the island's food products are not simply commercial goods — they are expressions of Cypriot identity, beloved at home and increasingly sought after in international markets.
Cyprus's Most Celebrated Food Products
- Halloumi (Χαλλούμι): Cyprus's most famous export, this semi-hard brined cheese made from sheep and goat milk (and sometimes cow milk) holds EU Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status. Produced by dairies ranging from large cooperatives to small family operations, halloumi is exported to over 50 countries and is the centrepiece of the Cypriot dairy industry.
- Olive Oil: Cyprus's olive groves, concentrated in the Paphos and Limassol districts, produce high-quality extra virgin olive oil with distinctive flavour profiles. Small artisan producers and larger operations alike offer cold-pressed oils with low acidity, prized by discerning consumers and chefs.
- Wines & Commandaria: Cyprus has one of the world's oldest wine traditions. Commandaria — often described as the world's oldest named wine still in production — is a sweet dessert wine with PDO status made in the Troodos foothills. The island's wine sector also produces a wide range of still and sparkling wines from indigenous grape varieties including Xynisteri, Mavro, and Maratheftiko.
- Zivania: Cyprus's traditional distilled spirit, made from grape pomace, zivania is a clear, high-strength drink with GI (Geographical Indication) protection, occupying an important place in Cypriot food culture.
- Carob & Carob Products: The carob tree — historically so important it was known as the island's "black gold" — produces pods used to make carob syrup (pasteli), carob powder, carob flour, and a range of specialty health food products gaining popularity in international wellness markets.
- Loukoumades & Traditional Sweets: Cyprus has a rich tradition of traditional confectionery — including loukoumades (honey doughnuts), daktyla (finger pastries), soutzoukos (grape-juice and almond confection), and glyka tou koutaliou (spoon sweets) — produced by artisan makers across the island.
- Herbs, Spices & Dried Foods: The island's aromatic herbs — including rigani (oregano), thyme, rosemary, and coriander — are harvested wild and cultivated for sale as dried herbs and herbal teas, popular with both local consumers and tourists.
