About Fried halloumi cheese

Fried Halloumi Cheese is a popular dish originating from Cyprus and widely enjoyed across Mediterranean cuisine. Made from a blend of sheep’s and goat’s milk (sometimes cow’s milk), halloumi is known for its firm texture and high melting point, making it ideal for frying or grilling. When cooked, it develops a crispy golden crust while maintaining its soft, elastic interior. Nutritionally, halloumi is rich in protein and calcium, supporting muscle health and bone strength. However, it is also high in sodium and saturated fats, so moderation is key for a balanced diet. Often enjoyed as a standalone snack or paired with salads, vegetables, or grains, fried halloumi is a flavorful choice for those seeking a filling, protein-packed option with a unique savory taste.
