Halloumi

Cultural Context

Halloumi, a semi-hard cheese originating from Cyprus, is traditionally made from sheep's milk and is celebrated for its unique texture and high melting point. This makes it perfect for grilling or frying, resulting in a delightful crispy exterior while remaining soft inside. In Cyprus, it's often enjoyed as part of a meze platter or served with fresh vegetables and bread. Today, halloumi has gained global popularity, featuring in various dishes across Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines.
