About Halumi cheese

Halloumi cheese is a semi-hard, unripened cheese traditionally made from a mix of goat’s and sheep’s milk, though modern versions often include cow’s milk. Originating from Cyprus, halloumi is a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, prized for its unique ability to maintain its shape when grilled or fried due to its high melting point. Nutritionally, halloumi is rich in protein and calcium, supporting muscle and bone health, but it is also relatively high in saturated fat and sodium. Its dense texture makes it satisfyingly filling, though portion control is advised for those monitoring salt or fat intake. With a salty, tangy flavor, halloumi is a versatile addition to salads, wraps, or vegetarian dishes, offering a savory boost to meals. While delicious and nutrient-rich, moderation is key to enjoying this cheese as part of a balanced diet.
