Halloumi is a semi-hard, brined cheese originating from Cyprus, popular in Mediterranean cuisine. Made from a mixture of sheep's and goat's milk, or sometimes cow's milk, it boasts a distinctive texture and a high melting point, which makes it ideal for grilling or frying. Nutritionally, Halloumi is rich in protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12, supporting bone health and muscle development. However, it is also high in sodium and saturated fat, which can impact heart health if consumed in excess. Its unique flavor and versatility make it a favorite for salads, sandwiches, and vegetarian dishes, but moderation is key due to its salt content.
