About Haloumi

Halloumi is a semi-hard, brined cheese traditionally made from a mix of goat's and sheep's milk, though modern versions often include cow's milk. Originating from Cyprus, it’s a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, prized for its unique ability to retain its structure when grilled or fried, resulting in a satisfying crisp exterior and a soft, chewy interior. Nutrient-dense, halloumi provides a good source of protein, calcium, and phosphorus, supporting muscle repair and bone health. However, it is high in sodium and saturated fats, so moderation is key for those monitoring salt or fat intake. Its versatility makes it a popular ingredient in salads, wraps, or as a standalone appetizer, offering both a nutritional boost and a rich, salty flavor.
