About Haloumi cheese
Halloumi cheese is a semi-hard, brined cheese traditionally made from a mix of goat's and sheep's milk, and sometimes cow's milk. Originating from Cyprus, it is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine and is renowned for its unique ability to be grilled or fried without melting, thanks to its high melting point. Halloumi is rich in protein, calcium, and essential vitamins, making it beneficial for bone health and muscle maintenance. However, it is also relatively high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key. Its firm, squeaky texture and mildly salty flavor make it a versatile ingredient, whether featured in salads, wrapped in pita, or seared as a standalone snack. While halloumi contributes valuable nutrients, its calorie and salt content warrant mindful portion control, especially for those managing heart health or weight.
