Halloumi is a semi-hard, brined cheese traditionally made from goat's and sheep's milk, though cow's milk is often added in modern recipes. Originating from Cyprus, it’s a staple in Mediterranean cuisine and renowned for its unique ability to be grilled or fried without melting, thanks to its high melting point. It’s rich in protein, calcium, and phosphorus, making it beneficial for bone health and muscle maintenance. However, halloumi is also high in sodium due to its preserved nature and contains significant amounts of saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation. It’s versatile in various dishes, from salads to wraps, and a favorite for vegetarians seeking a hearty protein source. While halloumi can be part of a nutritious diet, balance is key to enjoying its rich, savory flavor alongside its health considerations.
