The Mediterranean1 island of Cyprus is now the only country that can sell its famous halloumi cheese in the European Union.

地中海岛国塞浦路斯现在是唯一可以向欧盟出口其著名的哈洛米奶酪的国家。

Halloumi is a cheese made from goat, sheep and cow's milk. It is salty, feels like rubber and is usually cooked: fried or grilled2.

哈洛米是一种用山羊奶、绵羊奶和牛奶制成的奶酪。它很咸,摸起来像橡胶,通常用炸或烤来烹饪。

Halloumi is very popular in Europe and around the world. Yearly cheese exports are worth at least $267 million. Farmers call the cheese "white gold."

哈洛米在欧洲和世界各地都很受欢迎。这种奶酪的年出口额至少价值2670亿美元。农民们称这种奶酪为“白金”。

Because of this popularity, foreign cheese makers3 have tried to sell their own cheese using the halloumi name. Cypriots argue that foreign producers' halloumi is inauthentic.

由于这种受欢迎度,外国奶酪生产商试图以哈洛米的名称出售他们的奶酪。塞浦路斯人民主张外国生产商的哈洛米是假货。

But later this month, the European Union is recognizing halloumi with its Protected Destination of Origin (PDO). This means only Cypriot producers will be able to market the cheese in Europe under the halloumi name. Cyprus is involved in 80 court cases against foreign producers who call their cheese "halloumi."

但是本月晚些时候,欧盟将承认哈洛米受到原产地保护。这意味着只有塞浦路斯生产商才能以哈洛米的名称在欧洲销售奶酪。塞浦路斯参与了80起针对外国生产商的诉讼,这些生产商称它们的奶酪为哈洛米。

George Petrou oversees4 Petrou Bros. Dairy Products. The company makes about 25 percent of Cyprus' halloumi exports. He says the cheese is a Cypriot invention that dates back to 1500.

乔治·彼得鲁负责监管彼得鲁兄弟奶制品。该公司大约占到了塞浦路斯哈洛米出口的25%。他说,这种奶酪是塞浦路斯人发明的,可以追溯到1500年。

"Unfortunately in recent years many countries tried to copy us," he said. Using the halloumi name for other kinds of cheese "misleads consumers," he added.

他说:“不幸的是,近年来许多国家试图抄袭我们。”他还表示,其它奶酪使用哈洛米这个名称会误导消费者。

Starting in 2024, at least half of the cheese will need to be goat and sheep's milk. The rest can be cow's milk.

从2024年开始,这种奶酪至少有一半必须是山羊奶或绵羊奶。剩下部分可以是牛奶。

The EU registration5 permits the northern part of Cyprus to export its halloumi, or "hellim" in Turkish, to Europe. Northern Cyprus is ethnically6 Turkish and has had a separate government since 1974. Turkey is the only country in the world to recognize Northern Cyprus. Before the PDO, Northern Cypriot producers could only export hellim to Turkey.

欧盟注册机构允许北塞浦路斯向欧盟出口哈洛米。北塞浦路斯是土耳其人种,自1974年以来一直拥有独立政府。土耳其是世界上唯一承认北塞浦路斯的国家。在获得原产地保护认证之前,北塞浦路斯只能向土耳其出口哈洛米。

Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades praised the agreement as "historic." He said the agreement gives the country an economic boost that will help both Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots.

塞浦路斯总统尼科斯·阿纳斯塔西亚德斯称赞其为历史性协议。他说,该协议给该国带来经济增长,这将对希族塞人和土族塞人都有帮助。

He added, "It's a strong message...that I'm sending to Turkish Cypriots about all the benefits we can reap from the protections that the European Union can offer."

他还表示:“这是一个强烈信号,我要告诉土族塞人关于我们可以从欧盟提供的原产地保护中获得的所有好处。”
