Futura Foods, the UK’s leading supplier of Mediterranean-inspired dairy products, has launched new Yamas Halloumi Fries to bring street food to the table in style.
With this highly desired cheese emerging more and more into the limelight, Yamas Halloumi Fries are a great extra profit generator for caterers everywhere. They’re quick to prepare, extremely versatile and perfect as a street food snack, starter or side dish, not to mention crispy and incredibly delicious.
It’s now even easier for operators to serve up halloumi fries with Futura Foods supplying them ready-cut in either chilled or frozen formats. The frozen option has a six month shelf life, with the chilled option offering 30 days – both formats will help operators combat the growing industry food wastage concerns.
John Steele, National Account Controller, Futura Foods, comments: “The UK is the biggest importer of halloumi, representing 43% of all halloumi exported from Cyprus in 2017¹. This, twinned with the market for this ever-popular cheese rising nearly 30% over the last year², means it creates a great profit potential for savvy operators looking to develop their menu options. From a quick side dish with sweet chili dipping sauce, to starter options with pomegranate, lime and coriander, chefs can get creative with dishes and really make them their own.
“With halloumi fries now becoming a familiar menu choice in casual dining chains, stocking our fries presents a chance for establishments to be seen as innovative and on-trend as well as increasing curiosity with consumers.”
Yamas Halloumi Fries are available now from selected wholesalers and are supplied in cases of 10 x 1kg bags, which equates to 100 x 100g portions per case. Operators have the opportunity to make a significant extra profit selling each 100g portion for around £4.95.
Futura Foods is one of the largest suppliers of continental cheese to the UK and Ireland. The range includes Greek, Cypriot, Italian, Spanish and Northern European cheeses from carefully selected partner dairies across Europe. The company’s flexible distribution network enables it to supply an extensive range to retailers, wholesalers, food manufacturers and food service.
