About Hallumi cheese

Halloumi cheese is a semi-hard, unripened cheese originating from Cyprus, traditionally made from goat's and sheep's milk, though cow's milk is sometimes used in modern variations. Recognized for its firm texture and high melting point, halloumi is perfect for grilling or frying, offering a unique squeaky bite. Nutritionally, halloumi is rich in protein and calcium, supporting muscle and bone health, making it a popular choice for vegetarians seeking protein alternatives. However, it is also high in saturated fat and sodium, which may not suit those watching their heart health or salt intake. Its versatility lends itself to Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes, enjoying widespread use in salads, wraps, and light grilling recipes. Despite its indulgent nature, moderate consumption can complement a balanced diet, particularly as a flavorful addition to plant-forward meals.
