What is "halloumi"?

Halloumi is a semi-hard cheese made from a combination of goat's and sheep's milk, originating from Cyprus. It has a unique texture that is both firm and slightly elastic, allowing it to be grilled or pan-fried without melting. Halloumi has a salty and tangy flavor, with a savory undertone. It is a versatile cheese that can be enjoyed on its own, used as a topping for salads or sandwiches, or incorporated into various dishes, adding a delightful savory element.
