The traditional cured pork loin of Lountza is one of the island’s most popular cured meats and is often partnered with Halloumi cheese in sandwiches, or served with fried eggs.

The pork filets or loins are salted, marinated in red wine, dried in the sun, rolled in coriander seeds and finally smoked in a specially built chimney with wood from various aromatic bushes and trees. Lountza can be served cold, fried or grilled.

When vacuum-packed, the meat has a long shelf life and makes the perfect taste of Cyprus to take back with you to enjoy at home!
