Halloumi is a semi-hard cheese with a unique ability to maintain its shape when grilled or fried, thanks to its high melting point. Originally from Cyprus, halloumi is a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, often enjoyed as a savory addition to salads, wraps, or served on its own. Made primarily from a mix of goat's and sheep's milk (sometimes cow's milk), it has a distinctively salty flavor and firm, squeaky texture. Halloumi is rich in protein and calcium, essential for bone health and muscle function. However, its high sodium content and saturated fat levels should be considered, particularly for those monitoring heart health or blood pressure. Moderation is key, as halloumi can be a nutritious and satisfying option when balanced within a healthy diet.
