Agia Varvaraの貸別荘

Visit us at our traditional stone-built Aperanti Agrotourism and join me (Sara) and my mother-in-law Maroulla in making the cheese that every Cypriot is proud of: halloumi cheese ! Maroulla is 70 years old and will bring to the experience the knowledge of the hand-made procedure that has been passed to her family from generation to generation. You will be able to assist us in some of the steps and to try the freshly-made cheeses as soon as they are out of the pot ! And off course you will get soft skin by dipping your hand in the warm milk inside the big pot! Anari cheese (similar to ricotta) is also produced as a by-product during the same process. At the end of the process, you will try both cheeses directly out of the pot and you will also taste some of our other products (home-made jams, olive pies, olive oil, olives in brine) and enjoy our home-made fresh lemonade. I will also take you for a short guided walk around our village and you will learn its history and how people were living here 100 years ago. Other things to note Contact us if you are interested in any date that is not listed. Also let us know if you have any children as they pay a discount price.
