Halloumi Cheese
Halloumi cheese is a semi-hard, brined cheese traditionally made from a blend of goat's and sheep's milk, with some versions incorporating cow's milk. Originating from the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, it holds a unique place in Cypriot cuisine and is enjoyed worldwide. Its flavor is mild yet salty, with subtle tangy and savory notes that become more pronounced when cooked. Halloumi boasts a distinctive squeaky texture when fresh, turning into a golden, crispy exterior when pan-fried, while maintaining a soft, chewy interior. Its high melting point allows it to retain its shape when heated, making it ideal for grilling or frying without becoming greasy or losing structure.
