About Hallomi cheese

Halloumi cheese is a semi-hard, brined cheese originating from Cyprus, traditionally made from a mix of sheep's and goat's milk, though cow's milk is often used in modern varieties. It has a distinctively squeaky texture and high melting point, making it ideal for grilling or frying. Rich in protein and calcium, halloumi supports bone health and muscle repair, and provides essential vitamins like B12. However, its high salt content and saturated fat levels mean it should be consumed in moderation, particularly for those watching their sodium intake or heart health. Popular in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, halloumi is enjoyed in salads, sandwiches, and as a standalone dish. Its versatility and flavorful, salty profile make it a favorite in vegetarian diets, offering a satisfying alternative to meat-based proteins.
