Halloumi Cheese

Cultural Context

Halloumi cheese hails from Cyprus, where it has been made for centuries, traditionally from sheep and goat milk. This semi-hard cheese is celebrated for its unique ability to retain shape when grilled or fried, making it a popular choice in Mediterranean cuisine. Often enjoyed in salads, as a meze, or simply grilled and served with lemon, halloumi has gained international fame and is now a beloved ingredient in various dishes around the globe.
