Place the halloumi cheeses in small plates and distribute the tomato mixture on top! Add a small drizzle of spicy oil if desired and serve immediately!

IJALBA GENOLI 2016

Ebro Valley, Spain

The Ijalba Genoli, a fruity, lively white from Spain made of Viura, brings the acidity that grilled halloumi, salty and a little rich, asks for. That freshness meets the cherry tomatoes and the basil, and the fruit softens the salt of the golden cheese. One bite of cheese, one sip, and you start over. Ideal as a starter on the patio while the rest cooks on the barbecue. See the product

St-Pétrick, 5.3%

Le Fermentor

Grilled cheese leans toward malt, tomato leans toward fruit: this Irish red ale has both. Its toast notes meet the halloumi crust and its red berries follow the tomato concasse. Low in bitterness and in sweetness, it drinks easily as an aperitif. See the product
