Halloumi cheese is a semi-hard, brined cheese originating from Cyprus that is popular in Mediterranean cuisine. Made traditionally from a mix of goat's and sheep's milk, though sometimes cow’s milk is also used, halloumi is known for its salty flavor and unique ability to retain its shape when grilled or fried. Nutritionally, it is a good source of protein and calcium, making it beneficial for muscle development and bone health. However, it is relatively high in fat and sodium, so moderation is key for those watching their intake of these nutrients. Halloumi is versatile and works well in salads, wraps, or as a vegetarian substitute in dishes due to its satisfying texture. While indulgently delicious, balancing its enjoyment with a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help maximize health benefits while minimizing potential drawbacks.
