Haloumi is the highlight of the finest meatless burger in the world. Haloumi is the firm, salty cheese resembling Greek feta. Its uniqueness lies in its ability to maintain its shape when fried, allowing for a lovely golden crust without any filling leaking out. This burger features a vegetarian patty with an ideal blend of quick hot tomato relish that provides an instant fresh tomato salsa, along with mashed avocado, making it an extraordinary vegetarian burger.
