About Hallumi

Halloumi is a semi-hard, brined cheese originating from Cyprus, traditionally made from a mix of goat's and sheep's milk, though some modern versions include cow's milk. Known for its high melting point, it can be grilled or fried, giving it a distinctive texture and savory, slightly tangy flavor. A popular element in Mediterranean cuisine, halloumi is rich in protein, making it a satisfying option for vegetarians seeking meat alternatives. It's also a good source of calcium, essential for bone health. However, halloumi is relatively high in sodium and saturated fat, so it should be enjoyed in moderation, particularly for those watching their heart health or salt intake. With its versatility and unique taste, halloumi is perfect for salads, sandwiches, or served as a standalone appetizer.
