About Fried haloumi cheese

Fried Halloumi Cheese is a versatile and savory dish featuring halloumi, a semi-hard cheese originating from Cyprus and popular in Mediterranean cuisine. Made from a mix of goat's and sheep's milk (sometimes cow’s milk), halloumi is known for its high melting point, allowing it to be pan-fried or grilled without losing its shape. When cooked, it develops a golden crust and slightly chewy texture with a mild, salty flavor. Halloumi is an excellent source of protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle function. However, it is relatively high in sodium and saturated fat, meaning moderation is key for a balanced diet. Often enjoyed as a vegetarian option, it pairs well with fresh salads, roasted vegetables, or as a standalone snack. While it delivers robust flavor and nutrition, frying adds extra calories, so opting for healthier preparation methods like grilling may be preferable for those watching fat intake.
