halloumi

halloumi
Noun

This term refers specifically to a Cypriot cheese known for its unique structural integrity when heated. Unlike most cheeses that melt into a liquid state, halloumi softens but retains its shape, making it a staple for grilling or pan-frying.

In culinary contexts, it is often associated with Mediterranean diets and is frequently paired with lemon, mint, or fresh vegetables. Because of its high salt content, it is often rinsed before cooking to modulate the flavor profile.

A semi-hard, salty, unripened brined cheese traditionally made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk, originating from Cyprus, which has a high melting point and is typically grilled or fried.
