About Halloumi cheese

Halloumi cheese is a semi-hard, unripened cheese traditionally made from a mixture of sheep's and goat's milk, though cow's milk is sometimes used. Originating in Cyprus and popular in Mediterranean cuisine, its high melting point makes it ideal for grilling or frying, giving it a golden crust and a chewy texture. Halloumi is rich in protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle development. However, it is also high in sodium and saturated fats, so moderation is key for a balanced diet. It is naturally low in carbohydrates, appealing to those on low-carb or ketogenic diets. Often enjoyed in salads, sandwiches, or as a standalone snack, halloumi is a versatile ingredient that adds both flavor and texture to dishes. Opt for reduced-sodium varieties if available to make it a heart-healthier choice.
