Halloumi is a semi-hard cheese typically made from the milk of goats, sheep, or cows.
Although it has been enjoyed for hundreds of years in Cyprus, it has recently surged in popularity and can now be found in grocery stores and restaurants around the world.
Because it has a higher melting point than many other types of cheese, it can be grilled or fried without losing its shape.
For this reason, it’s typically served cooked, which enhances its signature salty taste and makes it slightly crispy on the outside
