Halloumi cheese

Halloumi Cheese is a semi-hard cheese originally from Cyprus, traditionally made from a mixture of goat's, sheep's, and sometimes cow's milk. Its most distinctive characteristic is its high heat resistance, which makes it an ideal cheese for frying, grilling, or sautéing without melting, maintaining a firm texture and a mild, slightly salty flavor.

In cooking, Halloumi cheese is highly valued for its versatility, as it adds a salty touch and a pleasant texture to dishes such as salads, appetizers, and grilled recipes. Its Mediterranean origin gives it a fresh and characteristic flavor that enhances any preparation.

Among its properties, it stands out for its high protein and calcium content, as well as its energy contribution, although it should be consumed in moderation due to its sodium content.

In Latin America, this cheese may also be known as "grilling cheese", "frying cheese", or simply as "halloumi cheese", retaining its original name due to its international prestige.
