Halloumi cheese is a semi-hard, unripened cheese made from a mix of goat's and sheep's milk, though some varieties include cow's milk. Originating from Cyprus, it is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine known for its unique ability to retain its shape when grilled or fried due to its high melting point. Halloumi is rich in protein and calcium, making it beneficial for bone health and muscle repair. However, it is also high in saturated fats and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation. Vegetarians often appreciate halloumi as a meat substitute due to its hearty texture. While it is versatile and adds flavor to salads, wraps, and side dishes, balancing its indulgent aspects with a mindful intake is key to enjoying its nutritional benefits without exceeding dietary limits.
