About Halloum
Halloumi is a semi-hard cheese hailing from Cyprus, traditionally made from goat's and sheep's milk, though cow's milk is sometimes added. Known for its firm, springy texture and ability to resist melting, it’s ideal for grilling or frying. Halloumi is rich in protein and calcium, promoting muscle health and bone strength, and provides essential vitamins like B12 and zinc. However, it’s high in saturated fat and salt, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Halloumi is a versatile ingredient in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, often paired with fresh salads, vegetables, or grains. It’s a satisfying option for vegetarians and a popular choice for those seeking a flavorful addition to their meals. While its nutritional benefits are notable, consuming it alongside nutrient-dense, low-sodium foods can enhance its role in a health-conscious diet.
