About Halloum cheese
Halloumi cheese is a semi-hard, brined cheese traditionally made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk, though cow's milk is sometimes used. Originating from Cyprus, it is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine, prized for its high melting point, making it ideal for grilling or frying. Halloumi is rich in protein and calcium, essential for muscle health and strong bones, but it is also high in saturated fats and salt, which should be consumed in moderation. Its unique texture and savory flavor make it versatile for salads, sandwiches, or served as an appetizer. While considered a nutritious option, its high salt content may not be suitable for those watching their sodium intake. Opting for lower-fat varieties and balancing intake within a healthy diet can make halloumi an enjoyable addition to meals.
